Leopard at six months: Does it live up to the early hype?

[bhaveshp]

I think it was a very worthwhile upgrade from Tiger. Pluses that I use regularly:

* Built-in VNC screen sharing client
* Time machine backups to airport connected airdisk
* Network shares in Finder sidebar
* Yahoo Address book sync
* Quick view to instantly view docs
* Bootcamp (not quite new, but still a 'finished' Leopard feature)
* Much improved Parental controls - Use it to limit hours of use on weekdays
* Kids like the iChat backdrop gimmick

I don't care for the Cover Flow eye candy and I can't stand stacks even after the 10.5.2 improvements.

Edit: Agreed, the improved spotlight allowed me to get rid of Quicksilver
