So if you have the choice of which language to use (many programmers
do not), you pick one that has more things you like for the task in
question in comparison to the things you don't like.

Sure - but picking one that best suits your needs doesn't mean you
can't critique its annoyances/flaws. This team-sports mentality is just
weird.

But it's important to understand that these are opinions - the
designers of Python were /not/ stupid to have made the language that
way.  They just had different opinions from you, and the had a much
better basis for forming those opinions than you or I.

Yeah, well, your opinion that my opinion is just, like, my opinion is
just, like, your opinion, man.
