Also, there has been a tremendous desire for many to move to Lion because of the iCloud support, which will only function if you have both a desktop and a iPhone configured, perhaps my mistaken, but it would appear that way.
As far as development on older OS's, I would recommend moving from snow leopard should you feel the ability to. Normally I am the first person to suggest sticking behind, however, my experience thus far with Lion and development has been very rewarding. There is also for you consideration the use of virtual machines to test results on alternative Operating systems, at least to estimate bench marks, however for what we are working with, quartz and graphics with virtualized hardware is far from good performance. You can always install older operating systems, however the process is annoying, and generally is difficult. What I am saying has nothing to do with apples support network, in reference to their warranties, nor terms of service. Some of us may recall Hack Your Mac 2000 edition of MacAddict.
