I'm not fond of the "worse is better" mantra. It works for first-to-market. Once incumbent solutions are available, the idea is morally dubious.
In our culture, success is often measured in terms of popularity or income. This isn't entirely wrong: a language can't be successful if it isn't popular. But success should mean more than splintering markets and mindshares.
