I think it's pretty much been proven as fact at this point, both by human play and computers, that the Sicilian definitely black's best response to e4
I have always absolutely hated to play against it as white.
In fact I now play something called the Smith-Morra gambit against it as white, which is a slightly dubious gambit but has the big advantage of black usually not being familiar with it and at lower levels that's compensation enough.
I mostly play bullet games these days and playing irregular openings is actually a very common strategy in bullet games at all levels.

I tried one bullet game. Failed miserably. I'd assume it's because the moves are not automatic for me yet. I have won quite a bit lately after studying for a week and doing chess.com puzzles and lessons. Went from 600 and realizing I had no clue what I'm doing to 830 now and won 13 of the last 15 games. Goal is to get over 1k by December if I can. I wish I had gotten into chess earlier in life though.
