Wow I'm very disappointed. I keep making the effort to transition more to 3, but am frustrated to see so many dependencies only work with 2.7, and thus maintain both libraries. I am tired of this limbo.

Back in the python2-only days, if a library failed to work because of bitrot and lack of maintenance, you wouldn't call that limbo. You'd just replace it. And if you failed to find any library to do something, you'd just write it or do without.
Really? Just move to 3 already! :)

I don't think it's entirely fair to call people who don't upgrade lazy or scared. However, it's really not that hard at all these days. Most packages are ported, and there are many success stories who have documented all the hard bits.
