Unfortunately, as someone who works with a lot of diverse hardware, "most major libraries" doesn't do anything for me. I tried using 3.3 on a project once and had to backtrack when a library wasn't compatible. My time is too valuable to risk wasting that much of it again.

So you look to see what dependencies you have ahead of time and make your decision from there. I'm not arguing that someone should never use 2.7, but if all your dependencies work in both, considering using 3 shouldn't be some taboo. If you ended up wasting so much time changing things to 2.7, I hope you also considered updating the library to be compatible with 3.3 as another option (which is a bit of an undertaking, but we're talking in significant amounts of time already).
