I think you misunderstand me; I was only trying to answer your question, "why sad face?"

I didn't give a reason because I wasn't trying to say Python 3 is better than Python 2. I was only stating that one could make the argument that a beginner would be better off learning Python 3 instead of Python 2, being that it's generally accepted that neither are necessarily bad. And from that it seems reasonable to assume some people have learned Python 3 but not Python 2. And finally, being that there are people who have learned Python 3 but not 2, someone might post a "sad face" because they want to use what they are comfortable with instead of being forced to learn something new.

I don't disagree with any of your points. But I don't think it should be hard to imagine there might be some people out there with different backgrounds or goals who would be better suited to learning Python 3 or at least for who the choice would not lean too heavily one way or the other.

Obviously not everyone is planning to work in your industry or even learning Python for the sake of using it for a (future) job.

Hope that makes sense and answers your question.
