<raised eyebrow>  In addition to the factors Fredrik mentioned, there's
also the issue that new-style classes are more of a moving target WRT
syntax and semantics; for complex uses, it can be tricky (or impossible)
to get the same code working the same way on both 2.2 and 2.3.

More than that, you *can't* use new-style classes for exceptions.  So
please stop telling people to avoid classic classes.
