Drupal 7 is turning out to be a CMS that I like a lot more than Drupal 6. The ease of updates and installs of modules, themes, and views is an amazing change from that of previous versions. In addition, one of my favorite modules in Drupal 6 was the CCK fields. Without them, I would never have used Drupal in the first place. Now, a form of the CCK fields has been implemented in the core version of Drupal 7, along with using those fields easily in views and arguments. In addition, no errors whatsoever from the Drupal 7 core.
However, it appears many module maintainers were blindsided a bit with the final release of Drupal 7. Certain modules like XML-Sitemap and even Views for a couple days were really buggy and had to push releases out it seems to not break. Weird enough, many modules "recommended" versions don't work with Drupal 7 while their older development and alpha versions do. Even to this day, module support is falling behind a bit but with time I believe they will catch up. But as it stands right now for those currently running Drupal 6 with a lot of module support, do not think of upgrading for a couple months.
