Still on Tiger and love it on my iBook G4. Installed leopard when it was 10.5.0 but it was a big mistake for numerous reasons (bugs, slow running on my old comp, etc). I think I also got the 10.5.1 update but that didn't help much, so I reformatted and went back to Tiger.

I've never really felt compelled to always have the latest versions of software (unless it's for major security reasons). I still have Dreamweaver 8, Photoshop 8, Office 2004 - all old apps, and not once have I found myself at a loss due to an absent feature that's only available in the newer OS / software version.

From my perspective, the most important thing is to become fluent with the tools you have, which allows you to use them with maximum efficiency. Updating or changing the tools too frequently just reduces efficiency because you then have to readjust. That's why I'll be sticking with Tiger until my mid-2005 ibook dies completely, at which point I'll be FORCED to upgrade since none of the newer machines come with Tiger installed, and I don't believe that downgrading them is an option :(.

Look forward to seeing what they have in the new OS though :)
