You forgot ColdFusion.
And throw Smarty into the bad idea category (and don't anyone try and convince me otherwise).

I dunno...

I mean, okay, Ruby/Rails, Python, Perl are all great and have their
place even if they're not for me.

But you're gonna have a hard time convincing me that ASP and VB don't
suck, by any objective measure. :-)

To be fair, AppleScript also sucks, mainly because there are about a
hundred ways you COULD express anything, but only 5 of them work, and
with no rationale behind the 1-in-20 I could ever discern...  I found
myself more frustrated by its English-like syntax and loosely-defined
documentation than helped...  But maybe that's just me.

COBOL pretty much sucks too, come to think of it...
