It took a long time for python 3 to add the necessary backwards compatibility features to allow people to switch over. Once they did it was fine, but it was a massive fuck up until then. The migration took far longer than it should have done

Its widely regarded as a disaster for good reason, that forced some corrections in python to fix it. Just because its fine now, does not mean it was always fine
