For me personally, I've had much better experiences with Py3 than I ever did with Py2. I've used Py3 for most of my projects since 2012, and I've never run into any major problems. Despite what people like to say on forums, pretty much every library I'd want to use works fine. And it has for a long time. When I've tried to go back and use Py2, I keep getting annoyed by simple things. The unicode is a pita. Not having keyword-only arguments is annoying. Not having "yield from" means more dancing. Py2 forces me to manually make a lru_cache decorator, instead of just working.. From my perspective, sure, I _could_ use Python 2.x.. But Python3 works better and is easier. The question isn't "Why Python3", it's "Why the fsck wouldn't you?"
