Though I like the newer versions of Wordpress, sometimes, I'm not happy with so many releases so frequently. Like I installed wordpress 2.8.1 and it looks great, by the time installed the required plugins and configured it a newer version has already come up. The other fact is the "Wordpress automatic update" doesn't work, so, I had to uninstall the old wordpress version and install the new one, making it tedious for me.
Apart from the frequent releases, I Love Wordpress. As Stas had already pointed out.
