> Research found that the number one cause of errors in learning Python was its case-sensitivity

You don't make that kind of error in other case-sensitive languages which offer better tooling.

E.g. you start writing "canv" and auto-complete that to "CanvasElement". You just auto-complete everything. And if you actually do screw something up, you get a squiggly line and a hint.

Simply ignoring all kinds of errors does not make the language easier to use. In JavaScript, for example, there are many cases where semicolons can be omitted. However, they aren't actually optional. There is a list of exceptions. It didn't actually make the language any easier.

Another example are things which should be type errors (`'foo' - 123` and so forth), but you get NaN instead. Or when you go outside some array's bounds you just get undefined instead of an exception. This stuff does not make the language easier to use.

By the way, I have all of that when writing Python, using PyDev on Eclipse, and other IDEs certainly offer the same.
