I don't think anybody is picking on each others. The two projects are way too different to be compared IMHO. Also being simple isn't a flaw in my mind. Lua is quite a beautiful language. And theoretically much more closer to my likings than python. However, for practical programming, i prefer python, just because it's a 'good enough', very comfortable to work with language that has a ton of useful and well done libraries. This isn't the case of lua, probably because it's purpose isn't to be used as a general language, but to be a real scripting language to be embedded in bigger applications.
