Spotted cat
I upgraded to Leopard this past Saturday. Generally a good thing — I love Quick Look and use it far more than I ever thought I would, and I’m a big fan of Spaces as well (Linux window managers have had the same functionality for years, and I’ve missed it terribly — but no longer!). And if my WD Passport external hard drive weren’t acting up, I’d probably be in love with Time Machine, too.
The main downside for me right now is that Blender is now really sluggish, and it blurs the screen at times. I’m not sure what’s up with that — other people seem to be reporting that it runs on fine on Leopard.
Yesterday I pulled open my development site (hosted locally) to work on Blank Slate, but got a forbidden error message. It was rather worrisome (and my Internet connection was acting up at the time), but then I found Working with PHP 5 in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and it solved that problem. Phew. :)
In other news, I finally bought a TextMate license yesterday. Now I just need to immerse myself in the keystroke documentation until I’m as fast as I was in Vim…

I ran into the same PHP/Leopard issues, and was glad to see the quick fix. I’ve been a huge TextMate fan for a while (back since I got a free copy in the Mac Heist.. they need to do another one of those!).
I’ve also abandoned Quicksilver, since I’ve found Spotlight to be quite snappy (much more so than in Tiger) and it works great as an app launcher. I also like how it has a dictionary plugin, so you can enter any word and it’ll show you the definition. Cool.
