They let the community take their time adopting it, and it still doesn't feel like there is any rush to adoption. And that create a split in the community, fractured module dependencies, and 5 years later it still doesn't seem to have found majority support. And for what? Most users probably won't notice more than Unicode strings, a few syntax changes such as the print function, maybe the exception handling. It didn't change any of the language fundamentals, or address any common criticism of the language such as speed, concurrency or the type system. There are nice changes in Python 3 under the hood, but I'm starting to wonder if the cost was truly worth it.
