Same here, I am unable to properly quantify it but there was something about the soup api I did not really like.

It may have been because I learned on the python xml.etree library in base(I moved to lxml because it has the same api but is faster and knows about parent nodes) and had a hard time with the soup api.

But I think it was the way it overloaded the selectors. I did not like the way you could magically find elements. I may have to revisit it and try and figure out why and if I still do not like it.
