I wouldn't argue with that statement, even though I make my living off Microsoft technologies (.NET, mostly C#). The truth is that every language and platform has its pros and cons, and every developer has their preferences. At the end of the day you can write great software or utter crud using the language of your choice.
Also, the nature of the project itself is important. I would rather do an interesting project in Basic than a death march in Ruby. I turned down a one year contract at $90/hr plus expenses (in 1995!) because I didn't want to live in Turkey and work (even indirectly) for RJ Reynolds. Even we Satan-worshipping Microsoft-using developers have our limits ;-)
