The main reason why people don't like Python is because they didn't give it an honest try. The main issue people generally have with it is completely superficial and goes away once you spend time in it for a while.

I bucked that trend. I gave Python a nice try. I still don't like it, but I use it regularly for what it's well suited for. The problem is that everyone wanta to scream from the top of the highest mountain that their personal choice is the golden egg that everyone's been chasing. A fool's myopia.

I would counter your premise by saying that the main reason people like something is generally because it was their first love, or close to it. Gosh, have I been swayed by @agazaboklicka 's "comfort zone" post? :)
