Personally, I tried a D6 to D7 upgrade with a copy of my personal blog,
and it worked great. The only thing I regret is that D7 seems to be
slower, but aside of that, it worked nicely!

Except the views module, but I think I'm going to abandon this module
for a lot of sites that don't really need it, at least I don't have to
wait for it to be stable :) Doing a custom block or a custom page is
sometime really faster than doing the views equivalent.

A lot of modules are still missing but it's normal, the freeze just
happened, a lot of them will be ported quickly I think (basic module
porting to D7 is relatively simple).

There are a lot of features in core that make it almost self-sufficient
for a lot of basic sites even without any contrib modules.
