Put me in for a "ditto" on not upgrading due to the upload changes.  
While 2.0 is, in general, a huge step forward for WP, the upload  
issue is a huge sticker for me.

I'm working on a plug-in that makes heavy use of uploads and because  
of 2.0's forced file-structure, I've had to write my own uploading  
methods. (However, your plug-in looks like it'll do a much better job  
than my hack.)

I know some people have an aversion to adding options to WP, but is  
there any reason why the ability to use the old upload file structure  
isn't an option?

Sorry if I'm rehashing any old discussion - I've been out for a while.

P.S. To balance out the negative, let me just say that the new user  
roles permission system rules. That's saved me a world of trouble.
