Heh, I'd look at that a bit differently -- I think that there's a *lot* of bad languages, it's just that we're spared ever hearing about the majority of them because they don't ever get very far. ;)
(But then, at my job I'm stuck using a horrible Frankenstein's monster of a proprietary language on a daily basis, so I can't help but believe that there's plenty more awful languages around that didn't happen to be "rescued" from oblivion by an accident of history...)
