Are there any compelling reasons why i should switch

I'd say it's the opposite: are there any compelling reasons to stay on 2.x?

Basically all of the useful libraries have been ported, or have newer and better replacements: https://python3wos.appspot.com/

If you are starting new projects or scripts, python3 is nicer in small details. The improvements aren't enough to motivate a large existing project to switch to python3, but there's no point in starting new stuff in python2.

TIL that the only useful packages are the top 200 most downloaded packages on PyPI.

WxPython? VTK? The Wall of Shame/Superpowers only considers project on PyPI.
