Upgrading really does save a lot of energy when it comes to modding. 3.5 also has some sweet mods like the userpage one that I don't think are out for 3.0.

I suppose I will *eventually* upgrade, but it won't be for a long time yet. We've got both current releases of the arcade being quite full of bugs, no disrespect to the authors who are doing a great job but as things stand they are way off being ready for use on a production board. But that's by-the-by really, the main issue is all the effort needed to upgrade for absolutely zero purpose - IE, end users get no discernible benefits whatsoever.
From my perspective, the sooner 3.5 gets forgotten about and attention turns (hopefully) to developing a 4.0, the better. At least then there will be some point to upgrading, as there was when 2.3 became 3.0.
Another significant change I have noticed is in hack support....previously, if someone suggested adding something to a hack, either the author or someone else would generally try to do it, or at least explain why it isn't possible. These days, if you do that with 3.5 hacks, you tend to get a curt "I don't need that feature so forget it". Which is fair enough I suppose, but it does represent a sea-change in attitudes, which is a mite disturbing.
If I thought I could get away with it, I'd upgrade, add ONLY the arcades, and then everything else would be tough. But I'd wreck my board overnight doing that.
