I was at a Linux conference and the only people who were all, "Python-this, and Python-that..." were - by far - the biggest jerks in the room.

Granted, you can do a lot, quickly, with Python, but objectively, I find it to be overly-easy. I could see it quite nice for something like Enterprise development where code clarity would be considered paramount, and it makes some things nice for quick, easy hacks, but a lack of decent, online documentation and the fact that I feel like a monkey with a keyboard when writing in it completely kills this language for me.
