Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, but there should be nothing in a language that should surprise a user of it. The == and === operators are a prime example of this. There are many other reasons why the language is pretty awful to use, date handling not being consistent with the documentation and being generally broken is something else that springs to mind for example. Then again, not many languages get that right either. :-)
