Why not the question "Is staying on Python 2.x a mistake?"

The whole survey is bunk. Too much misinformation and misbeliefs regarding Python 3. The only valid informed answers would be from those who've used (or used and failed) >= Py3.3 for something significant.

I agree that the survey is poor, but it is not bunk.

It should have had more questions attempting to discover why those who don't adopt Python3 don't. Then, if a major problem turns out to be misinformation, it could be addressed with evangelism. If a problem is a shortcoming of Python3, that shortcoming could be addressed. Etc.
