That's true for me. My own projects run just fine with 2.7.

I have no specific issue with 3.x, nor phobia of it, but my time as a 
developer is limited, and I'd rather use it to add features to my apps 
using the stable base of 2.7 rather than go through the headaches of 
modifying my codebase to accommodate the differences with 3.x.

This is something that's On My List to Do Someday, but right now there's 
no real upside to it for my apps. As long as 2.7 is supported, I'll 
probably continue to use it.
