With over 150 new features, Jaguar is an essential upgrade from prior versions of OS X. It's not perfect (it introduced a few new bugs along with the new features), but it's a very compelling upgrade.
Speed is notably faster on both my iBook and G4, and Quartz Extreme on the G4 makes windowing operations much faster. The improved integration with Windows networks is greatly appreciated, as are the improvements in Mail. Jaguar also opens the door to a number of new applications, including iCal and iSync.
Some may feel the price is steep, but the reality is that 10.2 is as much an improvement over 10.1 as was OS 9 over OS 8.x or OS 8 over OS 7.x. Apple has just decided (rightfully so, I think) that the "X" brand name needs to last a while longer, so the incremental upgrade numbers are getting smaller while the features added list is getting longer!
