Mission Control is excellent, Great value for money, Easy to install, Great new features
Some teething troubles, A few questionable design decisions
Lion won't shine as brightly as it deserves until its 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 updates, but even now, there's no reason not to upgrade. It's packed with new features, some of which will be immediately to your liking and others that will mature over time.
Easy to install, Extremely cheap, Some excellent new features, Very capable new Mail app, Attractive and sleek
No Front Row, NAS compatibility temporarily broken, Inappropriate design for iCal and Address Book, AirDrop limited to Lion Macs, Full Screen apps one display only
Auto-Save and Versions will be genuine time-savers for professional users, new multi-touch gestures, rewritten Mail app
No longer supports PowerPC software, high system requirements, multi-touch gestures rely on trackpad use

Greater use of gestures works well; Versions and auto save are very handy; Revamped Mail is easier to use
No support for PowerPC applications
Lion is Apple's most significant update to Mac OS X for years. The iPhone-inspired touches are well done and not overbearing, and the increased use of gestures for navigation is slick and -- despite some initial confusion -- logical. It's stable, featu...
More than 250 new features (albeit many of them small), Improved Mail app, Mission Control, resume, autosave, versions and AirDrop are all useful new features
Launchpad is a little gimmicky, No upgrade path from preSnow Leopard versions
