There's two things about this, at least for me but if you think about it, maybe for you too.

1.) There is NO compelling reason to go to vB4. None at all. It's not demonstrably better, there's nothing about it that just pops and makes you say "gotta have it."

2.) Once you "upgrade" to vB4, it is a major undertaking to ever go back.

I am never, ever giving up my 3.8.x, they will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
