I feel like those crying cargo-cult or enterprise never stopped to look at the alternatives they use. Like Django or Rails. It's in many ways worse than java when it comes to conventions, abstractions doing magic, and weird rules for structuring code.

i've got tons of open source packages on my github with interpreted languages :p

But yeah, I guess i first started using Django ~2008 if I recall correctly, and switched over to Pyramid in 2010. Since then, I've used many other frameworks – in Python, Ruby, JS, C#, Java, and Go. Regardless of the language, I always try and go closer to the metal when I can.

I think your assessment about the others being potentially worse is fair: they're all bad in their own ways. I think it just takes time (and experience across many different teams) to develop good taste.
