Has super() proved more useful than harmful?
For me, yes. I use it all the time. The only time I use explicit-target upcalls is in __init__ methods, and there usually only to skip a subclass' init or to explicitly manage a tricky bit of multiple inheritance.
(Note, by the way, that you cannot safely write an upcall in a mixin class without super, so it can't safely be done away with, anyway.)
