Does anyone not in the 'enterprise' or studying at University really love Java or C#?

They seem like very unlikely candidates for young self-taught programmers/designers imho.

When I started programming, I jumped into a lot of open source programs, poked them and cloned them just to understand how they worked.

There isn't really that much interesting open source C# / Java software at a basic level, and that I think might be the reason why self-taught programmers are more likely to use other languages.
