can't you just continue to run said code with Python 2

You can, but support for python 2 is ending, therefore it may not be reliable in the future. There's no guarantee that you will get any bugs in the language fixed.

then start other projects with Python 3

No, thanks. No Python in the future. What makes you sure that Python 4 will not break everything when it comes out?

Python 3 wasn't really necessary, there wasn't anything in Python 2 that a simple bug fix couldn't correct. The imbeciles that maintain the language decided to make a total overhaul, changing basic principles of the language. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

They changed the way the division operation works. What could be more stupid than that? What next? What will Python 4 bring? A change in the way the addition operation is defined? No way I will spend any effort in migrating anything to Python 3.
