To me, the proliferation of "better classes" implies there's a problem with Python's built-in classes - but what's wrong? Are they just too flexible and/or too verbose? Or actually deficient in some way?
People enjoy the flexibility and many Python systems rely on duck-typing via dicts, etc.
So people are trying to force Python to be something it isn’t in adherence to their ideology — but it fails to gain consensus because there’s a sizable cohort that use Python because it isnt those things.
So we get repeated implementations, from each ideologically motivated group.
