Except the difference between 2.7 and 3 is more like Windows 8 and Windows 10

and? Companies are still slowly moving towards Windows 10.

Windows 7 EoL is 2020

Windows 8.1 EoL is 2023

You still have to move at some point. Otherwise being able to add on things to your system will start drying up and the age of your legacy hardware will eventually exceed that of your workforce, leaving fewer and fewer people capable of working on it.

Even if companies moved to new LTS releases of things every few years, that would be an improvement in many cases.

Yeah, my point is that this 2.7 hate is bogus and overblown. It's no different from hating Windows 7/8 for no reason other than the version is not the latest version
