I have written mission-critical, shut-the-place-down-if-it-fails apps in Gambas. They were for the companies that paid for them to be written, not publicly released software, but they were mission-critical nonetheless. I don't use Gambas much anymore, but anyone who says it's not for professional use is simply massaging reality to fit his preconceived notions. It's not as big as VB (which many would also say is not for professional use, despite the enormous number of proprietary packages written in it) because desktop Linux isn't as big as Windows. That's all.

Usually, they use a different scripting language than the one they're maligning, or are functional programming snobs, or ivory-tower CS jobs. Most people I've met in IT are a little more technology-agnostic, though of course a lot of Windows folks aren't too fond of Linux stuff and vice versa.
