"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses" --Bjarne Stroustrup

That's a bad cop out. There are widely used languages like c# and python that cause very little whining.
Define "very little"...
Language feature-wise, I think python 3 has very little complained about it. The chief complaints about python I hear are anything to do with packaging software and multi threading the second of which will hopefully be fixed by 3.7.

Obviously, the 2 to 3 debacle is a constant source of grief, but I don't think that necessarily fits in with the subject at hand: language features that people contest over.
