<snip> FYI, I tried Drupal 7 (also as a new user) and found it not ready for newbies to use. Many of the themes and modules have not been updated yet, </snip>
I'm saddened by this also. I want to start building a Drupal 7 site but even basic well known and desperately needed modules and themes have the famous "I pledge that this or that will be ready when Drupal 7 is released". Surely, now that the code is locked (Drupalcon June 2010) we can have some of the more well known modules. My basic Drupal 7 was killed by a D7 beta update last week after getting views almost working, had to reinstall the pre update release. I'd love to be working with D7.
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.
