Exactly.
It's fine by you. It's not fine by Chris, and that's the problem. You
allow for people to be different by not caring if they choose to use
Python or not. You don't expect Python to be everyone's first choice.
You allow for people to be different.
You're not berating people for not using {your favorite language},
or {your favorite editor}, or {your favorite version-control system}.
Chris, on the other hand, is wondering why there are people resisting
what he sees as something obviously superior to all the alternatives.
Or at least that's what I think he's saying.
