After the early love fest, I suppose that a backlash was inevitable. That said, I find the current round of Leopard bashing to be a bit of a puzzle. In my own experience, it has been even more stable than Tiger was. Spaces is far more usable than I expected, unmounting remote disks doesn’t kill the system, and I like all the little UI touches.

Tiger crashed on me about twice a month. In the month or so that I’ve had Leopard it has crashed zero times. Ok, it’s an admittedly small sample size but in my experience a bunch of stuff got better and nothing got worse.
