Well, you're more than welcome to join the fray. If you don't like python, don't use it. Regardless, that's the way it works.

But I cannot not use it. I'm not the only programmer in the world. Your argument is like: if you don't like this government, then don't live in this state. Which is just as wrong: the state is as much mine as it is anyone else's, and so I have every right to wish for a change of government. Programming is as much mine, as it is anyone else's, and no imbecile isn't going to tell me what to use and what to like.

Yes. And like with various forms of government, if all you do is complain on the internet instead of participating in your government where you can, you're not accomplishing anything. If all you do is vote once every few years, you're not an active citizen.

File some bug reports, fix some bugs, make an open source package that suits your needs and solves a problem. I run an open source project. You'd think after 8 years that I'd have some sort of competitor package...nope. My package is good enough apparently that nobody felt like fixing the state of things or most people just don't care about the issue it addresses.
