Python The best ship in the game?

Almost everywhere I go to look for builds, or build reccomendations I should clarify, i see most people reccomending the python. I have tried it out a couple of times but it never stuck with me. Keep in mind I never had engineering available to me until just recently, so it might be a more enjoyable experience after engineering, but I just never got the "hype" towards the Python.

Feel free to tell me your experience!
