I feel similarly. I'm unsure where such a drive is coming from. I know it's just a philosophy, but the whole "explicit is better than implicit" thing stands to test here, and it looks like Python could deviate from it yet again. Likewise, "there should be only one way to do something". Now we have "%s"%somevalue, "".format(), and f"". I can't help but feel that .format() is the right option, being clear, flexible, explicit, and unambiguous.
