Just a single datapoint: Implementing a trivial COM object in Python requires, let's guess, about 10 or 20 lines of source code. When I do the same in MSVC6, the wizard creates 10 files, with nearly 400 lines of code. Sure, I didn't have to write these code lines, but I'm required to understand and manage them as well.
