I'm still on the fence about updating, but I think I will eventually. I, too, I'm a bit apprehensive about all the bug reports I've been hearing, but overall, I think it should be okay. The one that concerns me the most is that touchscreen sensitivity thing. I hear it's affecting sighted users as well.
I'm really looking forward to the fact that I can turn off on-the-fly translation of Braille. The expansion of contractions after a few seconds of not typing, and then typing some more really frustrates me. I'm also really looking forward to the control center. Also, I'm pretty excited to try out the handwriting feature. If nothing else, at least it'll be an interesting way to input text, although I don't think I'll be relying on it exclusively.
