Java borrowed a lot of syntax from C, and it has been very successful. If Java had instead taken the powershell approach of needlessly deviating with the syntax, it probably would not have become as popular as it did. So that example supports the opposite of what you thought it does.

Python for example has been criticized for the breaking changes in version 3, which caused a lot of problems for the community, arguably without a good reason.
