Be sure not to confuse subjective opinion for objective fact. "I don't like X" does not imply "X is bad".

Isn't every single claim subjective opinion? If any claim from me and you correlates we can call it 'objective' but that only means there is group of us that accidentally share subjective opinion. For every X we hate and every Y two of us love, there is third guy that hates Y and loves X.

Also rare one that confirms I am not crazy -- Python spacing sucks and I don't like it.

By talking about people "confirming" that something "sucks", even with the qualifier on the end, you're slipping into "I don't like it, therefore nobody should".

'rare one' I used should clarify. I never speak for others so always surprised I have to explain that. Although I do have badge that allows me to represent entire planet I don't use it ;)
