It's only when you've used 4 for a while that you realise just how many things 
in 3.x were only half-functional.  When I first tried 4.0 I thought I'd never 
live with it.  Now there are so many things about it that I love and use 
constantly that I now find it quite frustrating to work with a 3.x machine.

You can't get away from the fact that it is very different, and there is a 
learning curve, but I'm convinced that it is will worth it.
