Don't care for the so called Lion "improvements", many applications run much faster in Snow Leopard and Rosetta. Lion may end up like Vista, a screwed up product orphaned between two better OS's.
To me Lion is total gimmickery - can't even tell for the most part if I am using SL or Lion and then it broke a bunch of things. And to top that all there is dot zero release bugginess - for the first time since I bought the laptop it fails to sleep once in couple days.
Oh and the main reason I am pondering going back - my USB SmartCard Token is not recognized anymore - works perfectly fine in SL - So can't use VPN.

I have not gotten around to buying Lion.
I need to have the ability to give a good chunk of my day to installing it and just generally making it "my own".
I'm waiting to see what problems people encounter. Two worries, NAS drives and Wacom tablets.

I'm now dual booting which seems to give me the best of both worlds.
I like the gestures of Lion, but it broke a few applications (mac the ripper, vodafone web sessions dashboard) I modified my life around the broken links. Now I can have both with the benefit if watching the OS mature without having to rely on it.

Battey issues for MBP.
Nothing really earth shattering about Lion.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Like it or not, I guarantee most of you will be on the Lion bandwagon by the time iCloud is out this fall. You'll have no choice if you want to use it. 
So far there is nothing in Lion that makes me want to upgrade. I've always been a day 1 upgrader when it comes to Apple, but I just can't seem to go through with it this time. OS X seems to be heading toward a more iOS like feel in my opinion, which personally I'm not a big fan of (even MS seems to be planning on going that route, merging Windows Mobile 7/8 with their upcoming desktop Windows 8). I've just started dual booting Snow Leopard with Arch Linux, and sadly think I'll probably either stick with Snow Leopard until it's obsolete, or switch over to Arch permanently unless whatever comes after Lion really impresses me.
Well, it works fine, but there's nothing write home about in Lion. I'll keep it only because that's easier than downgrading.

Is that official? If so, that's going to suck for those who want to sync their Apple products and use all of iCloud's services. Good thing I only really care about Mail which I believe should still be independent of Lion
1. Not gone, just re-done.
2. AppStore is optional.
3. Which unwanted applications are you referring to?
I've just recently come to the forums. I started searching around today to see if I could figure out why my bluetooth suddenly doesn't recognize any of my devices (all apple btw). I read in another forum and here too that there seems to be a problem between lion and bluetooth causing the issue.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get back to leopard.

This same sentiment is exhibit after every OS release. IN a few years, everyone will be saying I don't need to upgrade from lion as lion is perfect yada yada
I wish people would stop making these comparisons. It's two TOTALLY different levels. Percentage of mac users who've upgraded to Lion is pretty significant. Whereas percentage of Windows users who upgraded to Vista was dismal.
Pretty much. With every new "innovation" apple is coming out with, they are slowly forcing users to rely on them for more and more. The lack of restore disks is ridiculous, the fact that they charge more than double for physical media that costs them next to nothing is equally ridiculous. Apple already overcharges for upgrades, and now is making it harder to do so yourself. I don't particularly wish to take my computer to apple, pay 3x what I would to upgrade myself and be limited to what they decide are the options for my computer.
