Well, I heard the thing has problems with heat... But I mean, I can deal with that. I also heard some things about them just breaking. Although I don't trust those statements. I plan on using it for Python, maybe some C. Really, it's to use for my controller I'm building.

If the thing you want will work within the limit of a Pi 3 then there wouldn't be much point.
I can't comment too much on them breaking but the heat I can, it does get quite hot under even average load but there are official heatsinks and fans that you can use if its an issue.

Though I don't really know much about circuits/electrics, I just use mine as a small linux server that I can dump somewhere and run local stuff on.

The only bad thing I heard about them is the micro HDMI ports

What do you mean? I mean the choices outside of Raspbian are greater now. For example I exclusively run Debian64Pi: https://github.com/ChasTechProjects/Debian64Pi
And stuff like Ubuntu, Lakka and recently RetroPie are all here now. On launch you were stuck with Raspbian so its good to have some choice.
That said, Raspbian is probably enough for most people. It just wasn't for me.

And yeah micro HDMI is a really bad standard, if you need a constant and movement-tolerant connection then you won't be getting that at all.

I'm pretty sure arch linux arm supports the pi 4 too but I don't know if the compatibility on that is good with any pi model
IC_
Yeah and I only heard bad things about the durability of those tiny connectors

If you're just making a controller for RetroPie and want to test it then I don't see why you would need the extra power of the Pi 4 unless you wanted to emulate some of the later consoles.

Go for it 
One of the best ways to learn these things is to find a project that interests and excites you and learn as you go - pushing through until you reach your goal.

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.+1
