At the same time, I would expect the people who like it the least to have written on average fewer lines of code in Go than people who like it. It's probably like that for most languages; people tend to not heavily use tools they don't like. I've written some Go, but I have enough experience with enough languages to know I wouldn't like it any more if I were to use it more.

"I don't like it" != "It is bad"

"I don't like it" == "It is a bad tool for me". That's about all anyone ever means when they call something bad. Or it's at least all they can mean. I just think you can have a valid and informed opinion of some tool without having written 500k lines in it.
