The main ones for me are:
- super() doesn't work.
- property() doesn't work as expected.
- They will disappear in a future version of Python, and the docs
recommend them for backward compatibility with existing code. This
is reason enough to avoid writing classic classes in any new code.
More importantly, it's a reason to educate all new programmers in
using new-style classes and inheritance.
