Clickbait nonsense. My advice, life is too short to use tools you don't like (and subsequently makes you complain about it). I personally love python, vim and debian. So that's what I'm using for the past 20 years. If I was forced to write java for a living I would probably end up unhappy as well.

However you don’t really get to loathe a software thing unless you are forced to use it for a log time and work around its limitations.

I agree. I was ambivalent-to-positive about PowerShell but now i absolutely loathe it after being forced to use it ( forced often by myself, because it was still the best option to work with the absolutely terrible APIs and SDKs of VMware products). I hate it so much I've wondered about starting a series on my blog called "Tech that really grinds my gears" ( Family Guy reference) where i rant about terrible software like PowerShell and VMware vSphere.
