If you were happy with 2.5 a few years ago, why is it any more unbearable to use 2.7 today?

>If you were happy with 2.5 a few years ago

There are plenty of problems that have more elegant solutions in other languages. I don't see that it makes your life unbearable for other solutions to be available.

Quirk of human psychology: you now know what you're missing. I have this problem sometimes. When I remind myself that it's just a quirk of my own mind, it sometimes helps.

We should backport all the good features from 3.x to 2.7: I bet it would only take a few days.
