I had no sleep problems before installing 10.7.1. Now my 21.5 iMac won't sleep unless I manually put it to sleep.
Sadly, I must update this now that I've had the update for a few days.
Everything on the MBP is still running fine.
The Mini Server still seems to be dropping WiFi randomly--though not as often as before.
My mail issue returned in the Mail app, I can't send email from my MobileMe account on this machine.
Its possible that I'm imagining this, but it does seem to me like a lot of the GUI animations are a bit smoother on my 2010 MBP with the integrated graphics. Especially when I have had it running for a little while. Mission Control and Launch Pad definitely seem a lot smoother/more fluid to me now.
I feel this made both bootup time and bootdown time a lot longer. Also, with that change of background color that happens when you first bootup directly to desktop and not to login screen, i get an extra blue screen that appears for a split second. Also a bit sad that my first ever constant beachball and program stalls started when i first got lion
I'll tell ya... the thing I'm getting sick of is the stupid dock crashing every time I try to view by application windows. I'd say it does this about 50% of the time. I mean, that's the only way to see minimized windows in Lion.
No, it didn't.
On my 2010 11" MBA, wifi still doesn't autoconnect to my network. I have to go on the wifi icon and click on my network - I don't have to reenter the wpa code though.
And I've had a few weird problems on my late 2009 imac, like clicks problems (with my magic mouse and trackpad eevn fully charged, sometimes when I click it isn't taken into account. I know it's a Lion problem because I've noticed this a few times and had never in SL. Anyone has this?

Yup, I've got about 1GB going on now. I'm using the 10.7.2 developer version; seems as though they haven't fixed this issue yet.
All the complaining about animations is much ado about nothing. There was so much bitching and moaning about it that I expected Lion to be a virtual cartoon. When I finally got it I was like: What's the big deal? Page opening animation is really quick. I consider it totally unnecessary and could do without it, but do pages take any more time to open because of it? I don't think so. If yes, it would only be a few nanoseconds.

I actually never thought it was BAD in the first place at all. In fact when Lion was first released I remember posting about how I thought the performance issues were blown way out of proportion. I agree with you. It just felt like they were perhaps slightly better now, there is always room for improvement.
That being said, I think it may have just been the placebo effect at its finest. But again I definitely don't think the performance is bad by any means.
I think I might have figured out the dock why the dock crashes so much... I have a homegrown System Preference called HyperDock that floats small windows around your dock icons, more or less doing the same thing as showing your application windows. If I turn it off then I can view my application windows without the dock crashing.
No. My problem is Wi Fi after sleep. This is pathetic. It is to the point that when people ask me if they should buy a Mac I tell them no.
Apple has taken the OS X experience for me from very good to just plain aggravating. I have two other wireless devices in my house and occasionally my work laptop. None of them have a problem. Only my 2009 i5 iMac does. Half the time if I want to fix my iMac I have to reset my router as well.
I am beginning to think it is spamming my router with a bad password and the router locks it out.

Did your problem get fixed with 10.7.1
It has fixed only one of the three I had. It now recognises my Time Capsule and Time Capsule does not now knock out my WiFi - Airport Extreme.
However,
1. It keeps going to sleep and waking up again very quickly thereafter if a USB or Firewire drive is connected not always with Time Capsule on its own though although sometimes it does happen for no obvious reason. 10.7.1 seems to have slightly lessened the times it does this but not stopped it altogether. The cure at present is either to keep using the iMac or switch it off altogether!
2. iCal does not sink on the iMac, it does with my MacBook, iPhone and iPad.
Neither of these are problems that existed with Snow Leopard

Sleep mode in Lion, feels like using Mac not in sleep mode.
I go to sleep mode on 60% power. Then 2,5 hours = dead.
Finder still buggy
My problem was not listed and not fixed either
Still getting the mysterious 'vanishing finder window' issue; sometimes the finder windows are invisible until you gesture to slide between desktops. Extremely annoying and usually requires a restart to fix.

Odd thing is that I didn't have this problem with 10.7.0 (though I did have sleep issues that 10.7.1 fixed). It would seem that I simply traded one major problem for an annoying one...
I threw in the towel and reverted both my son's and my MBPs back to SL (I never touched my wife's iMac). After 2 clean installs of SL on my late 2008 MBP (first one didn't get rid of the Lion recovery partition so I backed up my bootcamp partition also and completely erased the HDD), I still have a 'Service Battery' message that I never had before installing Lion.
My son's 2011 13" MBP appears to be fine, after reverting to SL.
Maybe I'll try again around 10.7.3 or so.

I don't know if it was Lion or 10.7.1 update, but my MBA stopped going to sleep mode automatically, even tried it on safe mode, but no luck.
Forcing sleep or closing lid, makes it go to sleep.
