What I've been seeing is people using Python 3 for new projects but leaving their older projects on Python 2. As a result of that, Python 2 will continue to be supported internally at a lot of companies, even though it is "officially" end of life. Nobody wants to rewrite the stuff they finished years ago that is now in maintenance mode.

If/when the day comes that using Python 2 isn't realistic, I may go with 3, or I may choose a different language, depending on the project. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
