They're all useless languages, unless they can do something useful for you.
Identify your needs and then find a language that meets them. Most of the
generalizations have some grain of truth to them (i.e., Perl for sysadmin
and text processing, the Cs for writing apps, vb for "dim"-witted Windows
programming... ; )

Aren't they different tools?

I also think the argument that Linux is better than MS Windows is a bad comparison.
They're different tools.
