The line in question is from Tim Peters' "The Zen of Python"
Beautiful is better than <something>.
where at present <something> is "ugly". My opinion, based on my
present experience and knowledge, is that it is reasonable to consider
asking Tim to change <something>.
Also, I suggest that in the context of Python and its Zen
Beautiful is better than cryptic.
may work better. I don't wish to change
Beautiful is better than
but I think in the Python context "beautiful" might have a better
opposing idea. Hence my suggestion of "cryptic".
By the way,
https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/beautiful
gives 20 'equal first' antonyms for beautiful, starting with awkward
and ending with unrefined. You might also want to look at
https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/cryptic
https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/ugly
At present I'm neither for or against making any change. I am in
favour of having a respectful discussion, where we learn from each
other.
