"intentionally downplay" is a bad choice of words, sure, but I think he means "am only comparing web stuff". Most web developers do not care about SciPy. Most research scientists don't care about web frameworks.
(Edit: and this is downmodded too? Did Programming Reddit change their color scheme again?)
Well, I downmodded that comment because I took it as the author saying he'd deliberately left out information so as to support the conclusion he wanted to reach. Which is both dishonest and at odds with the stated goal of an "in-depth" look at the languages.
