Speaking from my experience I say that there is no
compelling reason to update if you are happy with your
current install. I made the leap to 7.1 last week and
have been plagued by problems ever since.
Mouse wheel refuses to work. Over all performance is
slow. Gnome and enlightenment crash when I try to
open netscape. GQphoto doesn't work. It leaves weird
artifacts on my desktop. My internet connection is
much slower then it was in 7.02. It went from average
70-80K to 15-25K download rates. Quake3 is slower and
more laggy. My mouse simply doesn't feel right.
Somethings different but I can't seem to get it to
feel comfortable to me.
Earlier this morning my girlfriend and I decided to
burn a CD of all our important files, wipe the whole
drive and re-install 7.02.
Thats my experience with 7.1. Yours will probably be
different.
