The same, if not worse, can be said for PHP - where I came from. I've been a casual Python user for some time and a serious Python programmer for the last six months; the Python community is a godsend in comparison with that of PHP's.
Granted, there are helpful and genius people in both communities but there is a larger share of "muggles" in the PHP camp due it's low barrier to entry (everyone wants a website!).
