It seems like opinions really differ on this item then. I love insertion sort ordering in mappings, and python with it was a big revelation. The main reason is that keys need some order, and insertion order -> iteration order is a lot better than pseudorandom order (hash based orders).

For me, it creates more reproducible programs and scripts, even simple ones.
