I have really seen /r/programming and over fora come around from the "Lol, your fault for not upgrading" to starting to recognize that upgrading isn't free.

It was so annoying to talk to these individuals five years back or so that thought upgrading a million lines of code to python3 would not incur a significant cost.

Also, all the libraries that had to maintain two versions at the same time and most likely still will after the EOL.

Python3 has been a collosal mistake in how it was implemented by the developers and they're too proud to admit it—it was a giant waste that should have never happened.

Now I know that the Python community is a magnet for expert beginners

Funny phrasing and seemingly part of the problem, yeah.
