Yeah, it seems strange to force people to use type hints when it has had such a mixed reception. I really tried to use type hints with a new project a few months ago, but ended up stripping it all out again because it's just so damn ugly. I wish it were possible to fully define type hints in a separate file for linters, and not mix it in with production code. It's kind of possible to do it, but not fully [1], and mixing type hints inline and in separate files is in my opinion even worse than one or the other.
