I can confirm that this was a common question, indeed. Note that these
are often Linux/BSD people, however, and they have pretty much come to
expect these two tools installed by default ;)
If we are targeting "switching developers" coming from those
platforms, we may want to consider adding Python as a default
development tool. I personally don't care either way, but it does seem
to be popular.
