The extremely widespread use of CPython over PyPy suggests that most users feel differently.

Personally, if I had to go without 3rd party modules like numpy and pandas for any length of time, I might just switch to another language.

Most people seem to flock to the reference implementation of a language rather than alternatives. Which is why most people use CRuby even though JRuby is faster.

Guido should just take it like a man and accept a pull request to merge PyPy's JIT interpreter into CPython.
