Strangely enough (to you), I consider it one of the best features of Python.
I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to convince people to
always use 'this' in Java and C++ on instance variables and methods.

Explicit is better than implicit ... especially if you have a
syntax-colouring text editor which highlights 'self' and 'this' ;)
