From like 2003 to 2010 I loved Python. I was happy to code in it. Found it much better than Perl, my previous no-manual-compile-link-step language. I was mostly a C++ developer but wrote several large tools in python. I slowly started making more JavaScript stuff and used Selenium (python IIRC). Then I started learning node. Liked npm's default to local project installs vs python's default to system installs. Eventually I started writing the command line tools that I'd have written in python previously in node. node had some sync I/O so it wasn't hard. Then promise/async/await arrived and I was fully in. I haven't written much python in probably 9 years now. When I do look at python, I don't feel it's better. I'm not saying it's worse nor am I saying it's not better, rather I'm saying it doesn't *feel* better. Basically I've learned JS inside and out and I'm super comfortable there. I find it easier to get node installed on multiple platforms and installing it locally without root/admin privileges is trivial via nvm. I'm sure that's possible with python but it's certainly not the default. And of course the browser is everywhere so it's just way more accessible/sharable in JS
