I agree. Someone else here also mentioned that they prefer code that is easy to read over code that uses a lot of "unfamiliar functionality," let's call it that. And I do agree; Kyle mentions the same thing if I remember correctly when it comes down to JavaScript. It is better not to expect your colleagues or other developers to know the ins and outs of the language as well. If one way is 10x easier to understand, just stick with that.
But as you said: if you know it, it's probably awesome. In my opinion, it never gets boring to discover new things in Python, and it does make you a better Python developer. Knowing what and when to apply certain knowledge is where your experience comes in.
It has some wild features and crazy syntax and if you know it, it's probably awesome, but I too like to keep it mostly simple and obvious.
