Well, I admit that it takes a really bad mood and anger to write stuff
about anything, and it is not very constructive state of mind. The rest of
the things I could just probably silently enjoy (or spend time on something
else).

Whatever. To make anything constructive out of it, people need to accept
the "usability" and "user experience" as a study disciplines, and that the
studies could be and should be applied to Python (in this case to stdlib).
