This is a valid argument, but you can find plenty of data to back the counter argument if you want to. Take a look at the "crapware" on the internet as a whole - all of it to a good approximation is made with Flash. Likewise, to a good approximation every AAA game and major software package (MS Office, operating systems etc.) released in the last 20 years was written with C or C++. I'm not saying this data is more appropriate (it isn't) but it is still worth noting that, at least historically, C/C++ was used for the best quality software and that rapid application development is almost directly responsible for the large amount of poor quality software available today.
