I think this depends on whether or not you use, or will ever need to use, Unicode. I don't, and so Python3 is not only not exciting, but it creates a new problem for me: suddenly, I need to think about the difference between bytes and strings. Now maybe this is healthy for me, maybe it builds character. But it also adds effort and work that bring me no benefit. I'd like to see some of the smaller improvements of Python3--I'd like print to be a function, but in the big picture I'm better off with Python2.

I wonder if the Unicode problem could be solved in a way that I wouldn't need to think about it: perhaps utf-8 everywhere somehow.
