I don't think they found out Python is horrible - the first line is praising the language, it just didn't suit their needs anymore.

Well, praise for a language is telling people how it suits your needs, so...

Apparently it suits their needs quite well:

I use C++ because it meets several key needs that other languages don't. That really isn't praise. I like C++, but it's not wonderful and perfect. It's just the right tool for the job.

It's certainly possible to praise a language without it suiting your needs.
