Especially the admin interface. Feel free to correct me, I know there are some plugin and template differences too, but they seem minor. The core code is still slow and, without caching, easy to overload. The searching is still godawful. There are so many useful improvments that need to be made but are pushed aside. One of the things I want to do is just go through the WP code and play devils advocate: why is this here? Can it run any faster? Why the hell are there so many includes? etc etc. The reason I'm critical of it is because I like it, and want it to be good, overall the 2.0 release is disapointing. If it wasn't free software then I wouldn't be upgrading. But it is, and I can make a difference. So maybe it's up to me (and everyone else)? Because it's really not flying with me atm.

Huh? :^) I'm running with it on my Area51 site. Had a slight bump during the upgrade, but it seems to have sorted itself out. It's a much better backend, to be sure. Askismet is also included as a default plugin, although you still need to get an API key to use it. Most of the changes are cosmetic? Huh? :^)

I knew that it would be version jumped. Oh well. I'd have put it at a 1.7 or so. There are some great under the hood changes but most of the changes are cosmetic.. at least in scope. I guess it'll get more publicity for the larger leap though. *sigh*
