Become a MacRumors Supporter for $50/year with no ads, ability to filter front page stories, and private forums.
I got it when it just started shipping, and I think it was generally worth the $150 for the upgrade. it's not as big a difference as between 5 and 6 (assuming one had no experience with 5.5 like me), but its got some cool new features, and OS X support allowed me to finally move almost everything over to OS X (still have to go back to OS9 and PS 6 though to print....damn crappy Epson OS X drivers).

the only thing that really pisses me off is that the old filters don't work >_<

I'm surprised somebody hasnt tried to write something that works around this
 
Photoshop 6 has to be the best software upgrade ever. 7 isn't hugely good feature-wise, but it runs natively in OS X, so I'm happy.
