At what age did you grow out of caring what OS, editor and programming language you use?

I stopped caring about OS and editor a long time ago.
But I didn't stop caring about programming language. I would rather kill myself than becoming a C# or Java drone, or a JS web hipster, or a Python or PHP backend grinder. I devoted 7 years of my life after my bachelor's (master + phd) in order to get as far away from those kind of jobs as possible although I had to do it a little in order to support myself financially while doing a master's.

C# is fine. Java is fine. JS is fine. PHP sucks. You're simply a shallow person. You use software based on all of those langs every day. Show some respect.
Isaac Nelson
Never really cared, always used what I wanted to use, never got into distro wars.
I have my preferences but whatever gets the job done.

Two months ago when I reached 30 (wizardry). As I type this I'm waiting for this girl to show up to ask her out.

Wasted quints.
>You're simply a shallow person.
No, I care about what I'm supposed to do for 8+ hours every day until I retire.
I have worked as a Java programmer, a PHP programmer, a JavaScript programmer and a Python programmer. While the languages themselves are nice to work in, the people you work with and the tasks you do and solutions you make are not.
This is why I transitioned to embedded and HPC and never looked back on webdev or database applications again.

Well then you're killing the messenger for bringing you a bad message.
No one forces you to use those languages. They are tools that can get the job done. That's all. The moment you start thinking about them using human emotion, you've already lost.
