I've been coding in Python for 15 years, and from what I see in the numerous places I get to work, yes, it worked.

It's just that aghast people are the most vocal. You don't hear the 90% of people that are happy. They don't take the time to speak up. But the unhappy complain all the time.

I’m not speaking about developers complaining, I’m speaking about the fact that it’s still a fractured ecosystem and plenty of popular programs, packages, and scripts still in use or even still actively developed rely on or integrate with Python 2 (exclusively).

Such as? What actively developed tools or ecosystems rely or integrate with python2 exclusively?

There are people still using Windows XP.

There are programs still using COBOL.

That's life in IT.

Yeah I'm one of the happy ones. I always loathed Python 2 and text handling, Python 3 was a huge improvement from my perspective.
