For me, it’s better at avoiding mistakes. The major one is separating bytestrings from strings, of course. Comparison operators not assigning a default order to different types (1 < "2" is now an error) is great. Division is more explicit. Explicit relative imports save me grief. Similar changes about providing APIs that are harder to misuse throughout the standard library.
