I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard a few days ago, and there have been suprisingly few problems. (Almost none in fact.) The biggest surprise was that the parental restrictions defined in Tiger were immeadetely functional in Leopard without any tweaking. Thus, the children are allowed to use certain software, and only those. Also, I was afraid that certain older games would not work in Leopard, but all seem to work so far. I had two games which didn't fit into parental restrictions under Tiger. For some reason you had to use a normal account for them. I haven't yet checked whether Leopard is better in this regard.

Upgraded my iBook G4 to Leopard -- Comment()
After a few days worth of positive experiences of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.2) on my iMac, I upgraded my iBook to Leopard as well. I have the last version of iBook G4 --- a 12 inch model at 1.33 GHz. There is 80 GB of disk, and I recently upgraded the memory to 1.5 GB. I made an "Archive and install" type upgrade, which went flawlessly, although it took quite a while. At the same time I took the opportunity to remove some old software and documents from the iBook. There was even some Mac OS 9 software still there. After the cleanup I have 22 GB of free disk space instead of 12 GB. I tested screen sharing between the iBook and iMac, and it worked suprisingly well. Browsing iTunes music and iPhoto pictures on the iMac works also nicely from the iBook. So far I haven't really run into any inconveniences with Leopard. Sometimes Stacks behave a bit suprisingly, but that may be just a question of newness. I'm quite happy with the speed both on the iBook and especially in the iMac. For some reason Leopard seems snappier even on the iBook, which is unexpected. The only incompatibility so far is Cisco VPN on the iBook. It starts up properly, and tries to connect, but doesn't manage to do it, and never reports an errror. On the iMac I haven't had any difficulties in using Cisco VPN.
