But *some* of thei things that may have attracted people to python

regularizing features have a similar effect, perhaps adding extra
line-noise syntax where none was needed before...
Care to give any examples of 'unbeautifying' other than the print
statement -> print function conversion?
I would tend to disagree that the new print function is less "pretty"
- I've actually found it to be more consistent and 'pretty' within the
language. But YMMV.
As to what I think will happen with adoption of Python 3... I think
2.x and 3.x will coexist quite happily for a number of years (at
least until a 2.7 release, possibly even a 2.8).
Cheers,
Nick.
