I think he answered why he used it pretty clearly in paragraph 3: because people in the Go community told him he had to use it for a bit to give it a fair shake.
Another way of saying it: he couldn't have known it didn't have what he needed until he tried it. So he tried it. Which I think is great. There are lots of thing we think we need that we don't, and lots of things that we never knew we needed until we tried them.
