I've recently started using python a lot more, it was a natural progression when I moved from using a windows dev machine to a mac book. One day I needed to do something quick, and python was the quickest way to do it. I typed python into my terminal, saw 2.7, and built from that. I had no incentive to look into upgrading, I had everything I needed to accomplish what I wanted. My good experience then has grown to the point where it's probably the second most common tool in my toolbag, but it's still an "I need to do xyz, and I don't care how it looks I just want to see if this will work". So I still stick with the defaults. I only think about using the latest greatest tools if I think the code I'm writing has long term potential.
