I think the "should I upgrade to 11.0" debate may be quite different
depending on if you are a KDE or a GNOME user. If you are a KDE user,
you might be well served by sticking w/ 10.3, and perhaps upgrading to
3.5.9 via the build service if you are happy with your current set up
- same for a GNOME user - just upgrade to the latest GNOME via build
service and wait until 11.1 if everything is set up now to your specs,
and working properly. If you happen to be a KDE user and want to use
KDE 4, I'd recommend updating to the latest dev. version of KDE just
like Michael did, as most report it's a leaps and bounds better than
the 4.0.x that released w/ 11.0, and stay w/ the updates all the way
to KDE 4.1.

Personally, I'm a GNOME user, and I upgraded to 11.0, and I'm happy I
did - there wasn't any "big" changes in the GNOME desktop in 11.0
(other than a newer version of GNOME), but I think the combination of
improvements in kernel 2.6.25 + gcc 4.3 have made things faster over
all, and you can't ignore the improvements in zypper which make
package management a dream over any 10.x version IMHO.

I do always tend to have the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
mentality w/ software sometimes, but I think 11.0 is a solid release
over-all.
