This is a field specific thing at this point. Also, I think the population that this is targeted towards is those that don't write their own functions necessarily, which I can see could be problematic

It’s not field specific. It’s a crappy closed source tool that limits your productivity. There’s no field where that’s a good thing.

That's fair and I agree. But, knowledge of the language is different than it's overall capabilities/limitations.

I'm criticising the culture around the language. Always have.

I wonder if we could change the culture around it, rather than forsaking it altogether...

Because it's not open science, I don't have any incentive to. But you can try.

I've explained what properties of the language I think support the culture and vice versa. But ultimately it's closed source that gets me.
