Python 3 is still, after all these years, a severe regression in

Yes, Python 3 has some issues. But IMHO, what has really been hurting the Python platform (other than the mess around packaging, to some extent) is the split between things still on Python 2 and things using Python 3. It has fractured the community and the base of useful Python packages and extensions.
