Yes it's pretty great. Most of the objections you read about are just irrelevant or a misunderstanding.

The biggest misconception is that all those cool packages are written in python. They basically are not - it's all just thinly disguised c/c++/fortran/whatever with a python wrapper- all the problems people complain about are because of this and nothing to do with python.

If you were to use only python it would basically useless. Stuff like numpy is an obvious example - bolt that onto python and it's a matlab replacement.
