I heard pre­cisely one per­son com­plain­ing loudly when Word­Press 3.0 first released but I’ve hit no snags so far — ele­gant, pain­less upgrade on Web­Fac­tion (Dis­clo­sure: I’ve got an affil­i­ate link in there, 10% of your spend — but I’d rec­om­mend them even if you want to strip the link out) which is more than can be said for most web hosts I’ve used over the years.

Admit­tedly I’m not using the most zany set of plu­g­ins in the world, but it’s nice to know that an open source project can be so darn pain­less. Upgrade, the water’s fine.
