Culture. It is all about culture.

You'll have all seen the pattern. The sort of people who use language X tend to be the same people who use VCS Y tend to be the same people who think doing Z is a good idea tend to be the same people who don't see any problem with IDE W and protocol V.

Culture (by definition) is something that propagates amongst a community, and sometimes it's just poisonous. Or at least seems poisonous from an outsider's point of view. Except if it's java, in which case there's no two ways about it.
