I have just updated/upgraded to the latest Drupal (5.0!).
The upgrade went fairly smoothly on my "work" site but the two version hop on the "personal" site was a little less smooth... I had forgotten to keep that site upgraded as well as I should have. A couple of tries and some manual database checks later; I am golden.
All in all, the response time is much quicker, the re-organized administrative console is great and the new default theme "Garland" offers this truly slick javascript colour picker!
In addition, I have taken advantage of the multi-site support that Drupal has built in and now only have one code base to maintain!! This version really sings and once I get back into the groove of customizing it I think I will invest some quality time making it look a bit less like every other Drupal site with the default theme installed.
Oh, and Greg, I nuked your last comment post ... Sorry!

I still haven't taken the plunge yet myself. Hopefully soon. The big thing for me is how much tinkering I'll have to do to on my custom theme so it will work with Drupal 5.
I'd dearly like to see how the re-organized admin looks. When I was mucking around with Drupal last spring what really turned me off was how geekified the admin was styled and functioned.
Has it improved much? Screenshots would be cool.
thanks

It wasn't anything I couldn't recreate.
Nice work. Next step is to maintain the whole thing via CVS. Or SVN. :P
I've learned the fu of SVN and am loving it.
That seems like an exceptionally good idea and I've thought about it in the past. So you just pull down the latest from Drupal.org CVS into your production folder? Any snags/suggestions you can enlighten us on?
By the way I agree SVN is teh bomb!
you can't log into the sub-domains right now... just end up back at the login screen... investigating.
Works with:
IE 6 / 7 :P
Firefox 2 (Mac)
Works not with:
Firefox 2 (PC)
Safari
... so I just deleted all my .justwerks.com cookies.
Now I am happily working again!
