It is a pain, yes, after decades of 0-indexed languages! I switched to mostly-Julia from mostly-C in the last year, and the 1-indexing is the main irritating thing. I have to learn different ways of doing things, which I guess I haven't yet, so the parts in my programs dealing with 1-indexing seem cumbersome and fiddly, every time. 0-indexing just seems mathematically much simpler. And I like things making things as simple as possible. Maybe as I learn different habits, that impression will go away. It's also about the only thing I really don't like about Julia – so I can understand someone saying 1-indexing is a deal-breaker.
