I like it.  I went through some pain to move to Lion, but moving from 
Lion to ML was entirely painless.

I like the Notification center.
I like the new option to have the thing ask before saving changes to 
documents (and thing it should be set by default).
I like the return of the 3-column view in Address Book (though I think 
CoBook is really slick and am using it more than Contacts)

I don't like the loss of auto-lock on documents.  See the recent 
discussions about auto-save.

It hasn't otherwise had much of an impact.  It's just.  Pretty much 
everything other than those couple of things I noted above seems to 
work the way it worked before.  There are some other more subtle 
changes (ie. scrollbars), and other things which I don't much use such 
as documents in the cloud. There are many things I haven't played with 
yet such as VIPs in mail, dictation, Messages, etc.  May explore more 
later, but none of that stuff gets in the way in the slightest.  Other 
than auto-lock, I can't think of anything lost due to the upgrade.
