Haters are going to hate.... Poke tongue | ;-P

All languages are just syntax. They are tools. Used properly, they work.

If you cut your toes off using the shovel, are you going to hate the shovel?

Or should you focus on your own lack of skill / inattentiveness while digging the hole?
Oh well....
