He wrote an extensive argumentation about "why Python 2 [is] the better
language for dealing with text and bytes" [1] as well as a number of tweets
and a few other blog posts along the same lines.

While his arguments are technically correct, I disagree with his conclusions
because he's speaking with the point of view of an expert maintaining
libraries at the boundary between unicode and bytes (like werkzeug).
However,
most Python users aren't experts and aren't maintaining such libraries. In
my
experience working with Python programmers ranging from intern to veteran,
the
unicode model of Python 3 is a strict improvement over Python 2 in terms of
pitfalls hit in day-to-day programming. YMMV.
