It's great that finally the popular packages are pretty much all supported.
But the question is, is that really the problem? It's a bit like Microsoft Word: so many alternative word processors implement all the popular features. So what's the problem? The problem is, nearly everybody has some obscure feature they depend on. So even if an alternative has all the popular features, still almost nobody can use it. I think the constant referral to how many "popular" packages support python3 leads to a bit of false sense of optimism in the python world: it's perfectly possible to support all the popular packages with Python 3 and yet have it be unusable for a large percentage of users.
I was burned by that problem two years ago, but I tried again recently and absolutely everything was supported. Heck, it's starting to be the case that py2 is not supported anymore..
