Isn't opinionated kind of Python's thing? I can understand "terrible" being bad, but like, "terrible and unopinionated" sounds bad as well. As someone who never really bought into "there should be only one way to do it", it's kind of hard not to be amused at the thought of the Python community suddenly realizing that maybe being too opinionated can sometimes be a bad thing.
