Well it's official release is just around the corner. I have been successful in upgrading my dual boot laptop (with W7) to 9.10. I also was successful converting over to GRUB2.
Gnome Shell is now an optional apt-get away, and I can see where it would really be cool for netbooks and smaller appliances. I'm using it for a bit to see if I like it.
As 9.10 is still in Alpha, I recommend you stay away from it unless you're comfortable with some occasional breakage. The bootsplash has changed and the default theme has went to more of a brownish instead of burnt orange color also.
I never leave that stuff as the default though. I did discover gnome-color-chooser which makes changing the panel text colors a simple process.
So far definitely a thumbs up.
Oh, I'm still using ext3. I tried ext4 on Jaunty and ended up with a completely borked disk.
