Unpopular take but Tainted Cain is fun AF

Tainted Cain's item manipulation is just so unique to other characters, I found it hard to believe that T. Cain was actually a hated character. Looking in shops just to find batteries or soul hearts, or purposely putting lower value items in the crafting bag to fish for items, or risking a good item to keep trying to fish for better, there's so much depth and decision making to his gameplay compared to the others. This is a little weird to say for TAINTED CAIN of all characters, but I always found his gameplay to be faster pace than what most people said. I never really had those 2 - 4 hour runs that most people post about, and I could see how T. Cain could be unfun if it doesn't click with you immediately.
