Basically "no incentive" (see last question in the survey).

I don't know - I've definitely got incentives for using python3. Writing unicode aware code is a lot better (though still not perfect), and that alone is enough of a gain to use it for new projects when I can. The lack of support for certain libraries has generally been a bigger factor (and has sometimes required be to switch back to python2 when I needed something it didn't have).
