There is no doubt that a product’s community culture and the maintainer’s attitude have a significant influence.

However, I used Perl and stopped using it without knowing anything about its internal politics or community. PHP, ASP, Java JSP and later Rails were much better than Perl for web development.

* I know that for some the mention of JSP will be rare, as it was ugly… However in the 2000s it was the state of the art
