I have a personal gripe against Pytest. It extremely implicit, does so many things behind the scenes that it makes learning the library difficult for new comers. I had a hard time. For example, fixtures are passed as arguments in function. You can't use IDE tools to find out where they are passed from. There are dozens of things that go completely against the philosophy of Python: Explicit is better than implicit. Pytest is full of magic, it irritates me. The kind of questions asked on Stack Overflow reflects my personal experience with libraries of this kind. So many people are confused.
