Criticisms of languages should not be taken as criticisms of their creators or users. I don't see anything wrong with saying "Language X does Y better than language Z in my use cases."
Languages are toolsets and programmers are always looking for appropriate tools for a given task. It seems crazy to demand that people not be able to talk honestly about their experiences using a given tool. Python doesn't have feelings, it won't be sad if you don't like it.
