As someone who experiences the difference almost every day, I can say 3.x
definitely has enough carrots for me. The simple fact that I will be able to
raise exceptions with non-ASCII error messages without having to workaround a
hopelessly broken conversion/reporting logic is a huge improvement. And that's
only a small part of the picture.
