Nedjo Rogers and Robert Douglass said some great stuff. Read them again! Core improvements are going in some great directions, but there is an obvious and growing disconnect between these new directions and their assimilation into methodology by contrib developers (and site developers). This gap could be narrowed by *writing more documentation* but we all know how popular that is. Nedjo's points about client development schedules are very pertinent now, much more than ever because Drupal has become mainstream-popular. I've spent so much time patching/fixing/hacking modules for my D6 clients I haven't more than glanced at D7 yet. But I can tell you this - it took A YEAR for D6 to stabilize to the point where I would consider it truly useful, and D5 is still a safer choice for any non-tiny job with a real deadline. IMHO, the plan to release a major rev every year was the worst decision ever. Personally I'd like to spend another year documenting the D6 changes and patching the D6 contribs.
