Curt, I won't be upgrading anything for awhile. Not spending any of my money on
anything that's not a necessity. My finances are still at the paranoia/panic level.
I suggest everyone to look at the What's new page.

I'd hate to be the person that upgrades without taking that suggestion seriously and reading about what's new
very carefully. Some interesting surprises in this version.
A few highlights:
Ctrl+L shortcut key for deleting note has been replaced by Ctrl+D.
Ctrl+D for inserting date has been changed to Ctrl+Alt+D.
A hotkey that used to insert the date now
deletes your note.
Many new features depend on a $30/year subscription based cloud service (free the first year) on a site that lacks a terms of service and privacy policy. (might want to fix that asap!) If you decide to upgrade to v8 just for these features and are either unprepared or unwilling to pay for this cloud based service, you will lose any features that depend on it in about a year.
My main unanswered question about this version: Is the taskbar button flashing issue on the reminder popup fixed (optional)? And the issue with it messing up the z-order of everything on the desktop? Because if those 2 issues are not fixed, I won't be upgrading, even when I have the money to do so. I really don't want to spend $20 to be constantly annoyed by these 2 issues till v9. I have already put up with them daily for almost 4 years, and they really do annoy me.
If some of the features removed were very important to you then please let us know. We might bring them back. Like we have added back titles feature last week.
The only two layouts I use are Playing Cards (my favorite) and Tiles. The Playing Cards one goes well with the titles feature, and the Tiles one does a bit more than the Stickers one does, in that it also makes all the notes uniform in size.
