asyncio seems to me like it should be the biggest killer app for Python 3 - a universal replacement for the sprawling, confusing, and opposing async options out there for Python 2.x (Twisted, Tornado, gevent...).

I'm hoping that aiohttp, or a similar library, further matures and we start seeing apps built on it. Developing asynchronous HTTP code in Python 2.x is significantly harder than throwing together a Node app, where things are "asynchronous by default" (unlike, say, Flask or Django). Having a universal, built-in event loop removes a huge point of confusion and learning for async development in Python, and can hopefully bring interest from developers who would normally look to Node.
