In a way, I feel you are validating his point.
If you want to discount probably the most important sector of our entire field, sure.
I guess I should expound upon it. When I got out of college I despised Java. Pretty much for all of the same reasons. When I started to work professionally I realized that you could have more real world productivity with Java and the available tools than pretty much anything other than a handful of aspects of .NET. For all of it's flaws it's got a ton of perks. But you sort of have to put on your project manager/business person hat to appreciate it.
