I can't speak for others, but the python3 transition wiped the smile off my face for awhile there.

Why? The most annoying thing that I remember about it was popular modules that hadn't been ported yet. In essence, a temporary problem; growing pains.

The Unicode/string/bytes changes were welcome (to me). But that might just be because I had actually encountered situations where I had to deal with seemingly endless complexity and ambiguity related to Unicode stuff and encodings. Python 3 made everything much more logical 🤷

looking at python2 code these days is very uncanny, just the fact that print is a magical keyword is so wrong: what is this? bash?
