I would say, 'much better and constantly changing so as not to allow too much dust to settle'. Like I said, I've been bitten by PHP upgrades before. When you're on a good thing, change it!
There are reasons other than my previously stated ones why I can't move to PHP-5. I'm relying on a number of php libraries that haven't been rewritten for PHP-5 yet. This is the decider for me - if it weren't for this, then yes I would *probably* rewrite for PHP-5 and then subscribe to the mailing lists to see what I can expect to break for PHP-6 :-P I think it's wiser to move back to MySQL-4.0.x until the client libraries are sorted out. While I'm at it, perhaps I should go all-out and move back to 3.x? Hang on while I roll my eyes towards the sky ...
