I never realized that in Python 3 Unicode is the default; in particular, `str` in Python 3 is practically equivalent to `unicode` in Python 2. This might be the *one thing* that convince me to migrate. `str.encode()`, `str.decode()`, `unicode.encode()`, `unicode.decode()`, etc. are so confusing that I'm never 100% sure what I'm doing (only-occasionally-used-but-unavoidable-and-worst-of-all-very-confusing "features" are nightmares).
