I used to hate strongly typed but now I dislike the dynamic way. So all I use p much is C++ even for simple shit (besides web obv, mostly PHP there). It's really not that bad with libraries like Boost and Qt, you can do all the stuff that's standard in a scripting language pretty easy. It'll obviously be a few more lines but is what feels comfortable to me. One thing I dislike about Python is theres no good free* editor (at least that I've found) that has a decently working autocomplete.
C sux I hate dealin w/ c strings no classes so a buncha struct functions etc. C is the #1 most widely used (obviously since is in like every driver and operating system), followed by Java (kinda a surprise to me there). I don't like Java at all, if you couldn't tell, even though it has more support than C#.

Prolog is a pretty cool language, logical programming or w/e. In school seen it do lots of stuff no other language can do (except maybe LISP idk). Ada can do some pretty neat shit too I have no clue how to replicate in like C++.
After awhile they all just blend together, pickin up a new one's syntax and stdlib like ridin a bike. |
It's true there's no good free IDE for Python. I've been using PyCharm which will run you $99 (1 year of free updates too) but is truly worth every penny. I encountered this IDE while doing some work in a web start-up using the Django framework and was hooked.

While it's true they all tend to blend together over time, different syntactical sugar taste different so while one should always pick the best tool for the job there's still, assuming overprogramming hasn't turned you into a robot, preferences and likes/dislikes of languages.
