Thank you, everyone, for your input. I have an iPhone so I don't need the Notification Centre and I have no use for VIP mailboxes as I can get to any of my hundred or so mailboxes quickly using the first letter or two of the name.
I don't want my computer to be an IOS device. My computer is a professional tool, so I think I'll stick with Lion for now. I'll have to install Mountain Lion on a machine I use for teaching VoiceOver, but that will be in French. I'll see what I think of it on that one.
