Python for maya is ok, its a bit shitty that your pretty much referencing things from mel all the time but to be honest the strength of python is its ability to do things outside of maya and bring them all togeather, its good for pipeline! Python is also a better language to learn as its around in most major applications now, its fantastic in Houdini etc.

Its definitely a more useful syntax to learn overall but can get fiddly especially when working in expressions.

Maya is lacking a decent node based enviroment as it stands, its a bit behind with fx too.

As everyones saying Maya is very popular because its a) easy to customize b) alot of people know maya very well compared to other packages c) its a good mix between ease of use and control compared to some other packages. d) its pretty speedy to be honest


FX supervisor - double negative
