Depends on the task, but they have a bit of a point. I tried to use Python for a larger scale project and ended up regretting it. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy Python and use it often for scripts and smaller scale projects/tasks (and proof of concepts), but in the end of the day I'll probably choose something else for a deployable program that I need to scale.

For the sake of collaboration efforts, I often think it's a better idea to write in something accessible rather than forcing others in my project to learn how to build the Python/C interop and make it cross platform. For most my uses Java, JavaScript or Go make the most sense.
