For most users no, but for $30 its kind of hard to make excuses not to upgrade.

I'm a huge fan of the ASLR and sandboxing changes so security wise there are good reasons to upgrade.

What sandbox changes did they make? Is that the app store apps can't open documents without a user selecting them in a file chooser thing?

I think that is unsigned apps require the extra dialogs/etc...

That has the most info, i'm digging through the changes.
