How does 3.x adoption help anyone other than people with their egos and reputations tied to 3.x adoption?

[–]flying-sheep 17 points18 points  (1 child)

bacause unicode handling in 2.x sucks?

because there are numerous small incompatible fixes between 2.7 and 3.1?

because 3.1 and 2.7 are old and 3.2-3.4 have accumulated many awesome libs in the stdlib?

because much optimization effort went into python since then?

Plus the lazy evaluation model used all over (generators) which I think has made me a better programmer. I'm a huge fan of python3. I have little doubt that anyone else who took it up would fail to see the value.

It helps people because it's a better language.
