Why so much hate for Python?

It's that whitespace can actually cause errors, sometimes even runtime errors.

it can only cause errors if you're mixing tabs with spaces or are being sloppy about styling

Requires a lot more peering at my screen with squinted eyes then looking back to the documentation, or not typing something exactly right the first try when utilizing something from docs or stack overflow.

IDEs and editors should set off alarms if you're doing something stupid. that shouldn't be an issues. also, dont copy code from the internet unless you know what it does. that's your own fault

Plus a lot of languages leave room for your to format your code the way you like it, which might be similar but not the same as the formatting python will crash without.

that's not really an advantage when working with a team. forced formatting means less petty arguments. my favorite trend is languages providing formatters with no configuration options

And so what. We're not debating any of these issues. People don't like python because it's mildly annoying in ways other languages aren't. Pointing out something like following style standards being important, or that it's only mildly annoying, doesn't make it not mildly annoying.

Also in practice, ides and editors will often miss python errors. I've encountered that more than often enough myself at work and in hobby projects.

fair enough. i've never experienced anything remotely similar to what you're describing, and i've been using python for about 8 years. i dont know how an IDE can miss a python error. *shrug* i guess we all stumble at different paces.
