Not a significant upgrade? For me it was. Lion for me was so 
disappointing and irritating that I skipped it entirely. The worst OS X 
version ever, IMO.

Mountain Lion reverts many of the irritations back to their proper 
pre-10.7 behaviour. And it adds a bunch of cool new stuff, like 
Notification Center. That alone is worth the upgrade.

There are still some bugs, like:
- not being able to entirely disable Resume, 

-Save As returns but still doesn't work properly (it saves the changes 
in a new document and closes the original document, but it also 
automatically saves the changes in the original document, despite me 
specifying in System Preferences to be asked before that happens,

- authentication dialogs appear sometimes for no apparent reason, and 
the disclosure triange on them that shows the requesting process and 
requested right has been removed, so I don't know what process wants 
admin rights and why. 

For me it's a big enough improvement over Snow Leopard that I made the 
move up, and it's an enormously huge improvement over Lion; the OS I 
really really tried to like, and just couldn't.
