Very much so, if you like "stuff". ;)
The notion that "one language fits all" makes about as much sense as "one size fits all".

The problem nowadays is not as much the language as the insane emphasys placed on "frameworks" and "development by cookie cutter". They have a place and a fit. Outside of that, they make about as much sense as shooting flies with cannons.
