I think it's rather bold to tell someone they're *wrong* on something that pretty much amounts to their opinion.
The "ugly" and "harsh" descriptions have nothing to do with whether or not the language is complex, or whether or not it has produced excellent writers or poets. It simply is an opinion based on what that person likes to hear from a language.
That's like telling someone they're WRONG because they hate country music.
