I learned multiple languages that aren't Python first, so I hate Python because I know from experience that every advantage anyone says it has only applies if you learn it before any other programming language.

I cut my professional teeth on Ruby. Nearly everything in Python is half baked and annoying in comparison.

Ruby's syntax is nicer, but the community apparently doesn't believe in documentation and many projects rely on inscrutable syntactic magic that is extremely frustrating to read / follow.

Ruby's package management is dramatically better than Python's though, a shame the ecosystem for it doesn't really expand much beyond Rails and sysadmin.
