I'm not sure if I'd want to hire someone who is unable to point out valid criticisms of the technology stack I'm using.
People need to be aware of the limitations of their tools. I spent years in pure C, both complaining about it and singing its praises. Right now I'm in JS land, and I can do the same thing.
I started off in C#. No real complaints there, except for the lack of stack alloc, and that got added in the most recent version. :-D
