Apparently, macubergeek is MacUberstupid because this is one of the most popular powerful and easiest to learn/use high-end programing languages. And it's FREE! Don't listen to self-proclaimed "know-it-all's", if you want to learn programming, MacPython is a great start and learning tool!

More specifically from the MacPython web site:
"MacPython integrates Python into the Macintosh environment. This means that you can create Python scripts and run these as easily as you can use other documents. You can use the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which includes an editor and debugger and other tools to help you create Python programs. Alternatively, you can use your favorite text editor and double click your scripts to run them outside of the IDE. If you think you are going to continue using a script longer you can convert it to an applet, a mini-application that allows drag and drop, etc.
Integration also means that a MacPython script has access to all sorts of Macintosh technology: you program can control other applications just like you can from AppleScript, it can play or modify movies through QuickTime, create windows and dialogs with the standard Carbon calls and much more. An optional package PyObjC is available that allows full access to the Cocoa toolkit, so you can write complete Cocoa applications in Python (or, if you need it, in a mix of Python and Objective-C)."
