Here I agree, sort of. Newbies may not understand what they're giving
up in terms of libraries. (The 'sort of' is because, having learned
3.0, learning the changes for 2.6 is certainly much easier than
learning a first programming language is.)
For possible insight, here is a current discussion on the topic:

not people trying to learn programming)
