I concur, everyone solves problems in different way. As I tell people I am not a programmer or developer, but a problem solver and the language and/or the way it is used is just a tool. To each his own.

My final judgement of someone's experience is the final result of their efforts at that moment in time. Technology moves so fast every application or style is outdated shortly after it is in production and anyone can always find fault in something that is dated.
