Neither do I, I like both Python and vim.

It's the community which has nasty habits.°

And there is usually a direct correlation between their own skills on the tool and the desire of badmouthing others.*

Like I know a guy who can barely write a page of Python but keeps telling everyone that Perl is only a bunch of Regex.

I'm an outspoken Anti-FUD activist, stoicism won't stop this.
