I don't _hate_ Python, I just dislike it. I religiously indent my code in every language, but the significant whitespace bothers me. You can't have multiline lambdas. "There should be only one way to do it" bothers me. I always miss blocks. Reddit's blatant, blind hatred of Ruby and intense love of Python really turns me off. Guido's lack of understanding of TCO is embarassing. (though I've seen worse...)

All of these things are not dealbreakers, and I'd rather code in Python than several other languages. But I never actively want to develop in it.
