Yes, I agree that Python 3 is not that bad to start a new project in. But that's not the problem. The problem is that many of us have a huge investment in Python, and the project is meandering around, borderline-insulting its historic users who still like 2.7, while simultaneously failing to deliver on REAL needs such as performance and GPU support. Instead we get these little tweaks here and there, downright embarrassing PEPs like type annotations, and all this frankly distasteful pressure to move to 3.x using threats of the end-of-the-line for 2.... Basically 3 gives us lots of headaches, very marginal improvements, an ivory-tower sense of "we know best" (message to Guido - no you don't), and a real concern that the powers that be have no clue what's going on at Golang Towers, Fort Javascript, not to mention Clojure, Julia, or even Elixir.
