Again, it's about maturity. Every popular young platform has a relatively large amount of evangelical fervor and a relatively small amount of real-world long-term experience. Java was no different, years ago.
When I started using PHP ten years ago, I inherited an existing project. Two days into it I thought to myself: "PHP is kind of like Perl, but less useful." I guess I missed the PHP hype phase. If it had one.
I've never been a language evangelist. I just solve problems with whatever technology is most appropriate for the case.
