I saw no reason to, and I'm pretty sure my computer can't even benefit from all the stuff Lion offers. Since I was planning on getting a new MBP soon, I figured I would move to Lion/Mountain Lion then.
Got a tip for us?

Who hasn't upgraded to Lion?

Still on SL cos Lion is too lazy to play with my mountain of PPC legacy software and data, I have to support ancient PalmOS PDAs and elderly ClarisWorks databases. SL is fractionally slower at some things and a bit quicker at others. £20 upgrade that would cost me £3000 in software and peripheral upgrades....nah.
Same answer to Mountain Moggy.
Comparing W8 to W7 (Vista in disguise) is more like comparing SL to Jaguar in developmental advances. M$ will still screw it up for half their user base and a fair proportion will still be using XP regardless. The OS that wouldn't DIE!

Half and half?
Four Macs on Lion. There were some upgrade issues but they are all running smoothly now. Lion has not lived up to all its promises as most of the new features seem half-baked although their intentions were good.
Two Mac minis running Snow Leopard. All they do is run Plex. No reason to upgrade.
A Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server. While Lion Server has a couple of features I would use and didn't eliminate any feature that I use, I'm unlikely to ever make the change as it would be disruptive.
I'm a Mac user since Panther and found the Leopard upgrade to cause me the most problems, with Lion second. I feel that Snow Leopard fixed Leopard's problems as Mountain Lion will fix Lion's problems (or that Windows 7 fixed Vista's problems, for that matter).

I am still on SL. I bought Lion for my MBA, but then sold my MBA. I know it sounds stupid but making the already tiny close, minimize or enlarge buttons EVEN smaller was one feature I hated. It's not like they were huge to begin with.
I also like the Front Row that lives in SL but dies on Lion. No reason really to update my iMac with it since I don't have a touch pad.

Upgraded and happy.
I like it when I restart my computer and everything I had open reopens. And iCloud calendar syncing. And grouping applications.

Still trying to determine what I'm going to replace Quicken with. Yes, I know they have a new version now that will run under Lion, but after the way Intuit has treated Mac users for the last decade, there's no way they're getting any more of my money.
Still leopard on one machine and SL the other. Not looking for problems. iPhone's in the cloud and don't care about the rest. Call me paranoid but don't like my hard drive in cyberspace somewhere. Sell your cloud to someone else Apple! Along with everyone else's personal information.
They patched the old version of Quicken to run under Lion. Unfortunately, the patch is 15 dollars, but the option is there.
I'm using SL on my MacBook. It doesn't have enough RAM to effectively take advantage of Lion's features, and I figured I'd be getting a new MBP soon enough anyway. Only six more days...
