I write Java (mostly) for corporate code... in a previous job, just for giggles, we actively had a competition running (monthly winner got a prize) for the longest method names that would still compile and make sense in English. I think the record was somewhere around 130chars - for a method name!
Hating the long names and lack of readability isn't really a reason to bash on any language - the same misuse can happen in all languages. But remember, the original post was (I presume), posted in humour...
Agreed, and that's basically my point: a lot of times people don't like certain conventions about a language or its environment and it's not really about the language itself. That or they don't have the full mastery over a programming language's mechanics so "people hate what they don't understand".

I tend to hate the people that hate what they don't understand, but maybe that's just me. :D
