    At this point I don’t think people will. People want to look at IPs and instantly understand what they mean, identify subnets, etc. IPv6 is good but it was not designed with people in mind. And it’s paying the price. We need a new standard that people feel comfortable with.

      I don’t know, I’ve been using IPv6 pretty much my entire adulthood and luckily with ISPs that support it too. It doesn’t feel complicated or scary at all: I think people just like to complain.

        I don’t think so. Other technologies get adapted much, much quicker. I believe there is an underlying issue that makes IPv6 just not as attractive to many people.
