I also think that python-mode.el feels more natural to Python programmers, but I have only anecdotal evidence for that. Just last week I had a colleague ask me why Emacs wasn't working the way he wanted while editing his Python code. I made a wild guess and pointed him to python-mode.el and it solved his problem. That's happened to me several times when Emacs users don't realize that they have a different Python mode.
Yes, I was one of those who wondered why Python didn't feel right in Emacs until I realized there were multiple versions. It's a subjective thing, but no less important for that.
I still propose we GPLv3 python-mode.el. Thus if we cannot merge, we will simply continue to develop python-mode.el separately, educate users as to the differences, and let them decide which they prefer. With a GPLv3 python-mode.el we can all borrow from each other.
