How's everyone feeling about Lion these days?

personally, i love that apps open in their previous state and restarting launches all previously open apps.

If you like change for the sake of change you'll like Lion. I can't find even one reason to upgrade. When I finally retire my MBP and maybe get a new mac I'll use it but I'm not looking forward to losing my old apps.

I hear ya'!

I'm personally looking forward to ML - which seems to me to have the actually useful parts of iOS (like Airplay) and does not remove any major useful features.

Been using Lion for months now. Lion is not worth the loss of things like the PPC driver for my scanner (There's not going to be a new one.)

Lion does really stupid things like open windows in front of other windows, instead of tiling them. Or opening a finder window with a HUGE space for the file name, then no room for any other columns. Or moving your external drive from the top to the bottom of the sidebar. Or sliding some slow gliding graphics into things that open and close.

It uses the same symbol for an alias and a symbolic link, even though the two are different. They call it simplifying and standardizing. It's difficult not to think of it as dumbing down.

Lazydays is right. People who like to do unusual and creative things with Macs -- which is why so many of us bought them -- have lost options in Lion. I just hope some forlorn power user at Apple wakes everybody up in time to make the computer retain the ability to do useful creative things Apple didn't plan for.

There are not enough USEFUL changes in Lion to justify what it takes away.
