I've been doing Python full time for about 4 years now. I always found that when pattern matching is used it always ends up increasing the cognitive load significantly. It shines for simple cases, and for precise object pattern sniping. But anything that acts on nested objects or more than 3 members with multiple case statements is pre-programmed for failure. What makes it worse, is that there seems to be a trend where other Python adepts will default to pattern matching over everything else, like a too good of a hammer.
