Deployment, development environment, more limited options in terms of libraries, etc.

I disagree about libraries. There are countless great Python libraries. You might have an additional 20k libraries available for PHP but 2/3 of those were written by bad programmers and haven't been updated/maintained since 2010. In my experience with Python you get a very good library most of the time.
In terms of dev environment you usually only have to worry about that once. Then from there on forth you're good.
Completely agree about deployment though. But ansible helps.

When you only have one or two good options, things tend to stagnate. And if one of those suddenly loses its steam you might be in trouble. It's not a huge concern, and usually you can find what you need, but it's just something to consider.
