From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.
By "stuck", I mean, on Android you have no choice.
IntelliJ is slow, the debugger is far from the Eclipse one, it doesn't handle large projects (> 500klocs, ie the kind of projects I'm working on)... the list of issues is long.
See jrebel.com/blog/java-ide-usage-stats for real stats,
IntelliJ is #2 (thanks for Android).
People teach Python mainly because of AI frameworks.

Yeah.. no. It's a multi-purpose, multi-paradigm language where it's strengths are being general-purpose and multi-platform. Long seen as an alternative to bash scripting for complex automation, used as a web framework with the likes of Django and flask, and many other things are built on it. The ML/AI packages are fairly recent and built on C anyways
It's funny you phrase it that way because every Java dev (and other lang devs) I know likes it way more than Eclipse.
Using statements like that makes me think you don't understand why people teach Python first or know Python at all.

Some aspects of why to teach (as a first langage is not a good idea) can be found here : medium.com/@natemurthy/all-the-thi...

A 2,000 person survey is quite small.
The Murthy rant doesn't specifically address Python as a first language, and also really very... correct.
In any case, I'm not arguing for any particular language or tool - just against slapping bandaids on problems that require thoughtful solutions.
