Early adopting is akin to post-beta testing, essentially. It's fine if you want it and you like playing with the newest toys; for reliability, go with what you know until you need more is my philosophy.

I Love My Tiger

My thoughts exactly. I only upgraded from Panther because certain applications I wanted to use required 10.4 or later. Oh, and Spotlight, which is useful for searching. But now, why would I upgrade to Leopard? I can already do what I do in Tiger, and with less memory and processing power than Leopard would require. Of course Apple wants us to upgrade - that's how they make their money. It's up to us to think for ourselves.
Four reasons I won't upgrade to Leopard:
1. The dock
3-D? No thanks, I need the screen real estate
2. Stacks
Honestly, I only have a gist of what this is, but from what I've seen it's not something I'd like.
3. The new finder interface
Do we really need this? I've heard so many complaints about it, it's not worth it.
last, and definitelynot least least
4. Resources
Even if I wanted Leopard (which I don't), I simply couldn't do it with the hard drive space I have and the amount of RAM I have.
