If you have a Mac with a single monitor, like a MacBook / MacBook Pro, Spaces alone is worth the money.
If you ever have a crashing harddisk, Time Machine alone will have been worth ten times the money.
It slipped by because copying data from one partition to another doesn't cause any problems. _Moving_ data from one partition to another can cause problems; fixed in 10.5.1. _Moving_ data is supposed to copy the data over, and delete the original afterwards. I don't think I've ever done that in twenty years. The problem was that the delete could happen even if the copying failed, for example if you unplugged an external disk while it was copying. And moving from one partition of a disk to another partition of the same disk wouldn't have shown the problem, because if you unplugged the disk the OS has no chance anymore to delete anything.
Well, now that I've got my opaque menubar back, yeah I'm reasonably happy.
I threw away the dock, and really wish that stacks had more useful options (hierarchical folders, anyone?), etc etc, but it's a solid upgrade.
Under the hood, now... that is just beautiful. I just moved my development environment from the Solaris box at the office, Not a peep! No changes! I just run the compilation on whatever machine I want.
A really nice update, with a couple of niggles thrown in -- which will be ironed out over shortish time.

100% love it!
I love Leopard. I did a A&I on my PowerBook 2 weeks ago and there have only been minor problems; internal speakers disappeared for 8 hours (until I rebooted) and 2 kernel panics (has no known effects on my, that I know of). It is faster and more organized. I love quickview and coverflow. Time Machine is great for person with a relatively small HD. I feel like I have a new computer.

I just upgraded my 17" C2D MacBook Pro on Saturday night and yes, I'm very happy with it.
I did an upgrade and had the Blue Screen problem when it finally restarted, but a quick search online and 2 minutes in Single User mode and it was fixed.
It's faster than Tiger from what I've seen so far and I like the new iCal and Spaces and all the other stuff that comes along with it.
Very happy.
Cheers.
