For me, it's Python 2: weird quirks (unicode support sucks, I have to do from future import for a lot of things, etc.). On the other hand, Python 3 fixes many of these things, and even others that I didn't realize could be better thought out (such as names of some stdlib functions, etc.)

Lately I've been so frustrated I've actually been researching new languages with better performance, because that's a MUCH easy sales pitch to the business managers.

And using the scipy stack makes numerical computing incredibly fast (fast enough for me considering it takes me longer to figure out how to analyze the results), though your use case may differ.
