Is it worth it to upgrade to Mountain Lion, or even Lion?

[QUOTE="TrevWonders, post: 1429381, member: 257377"] I have a 2008 MacBook (not the aluminum one) and it has Snow Leopard on it. But I have a bunch of PowerPC programs and games I still use daily, many of the bad reviews on 10.7 Lion say that it deleted the PowerPC Programs!? I don't want to lose my PowerPC programs! I use them! Will they no longer work at all? Or can I just reinstall them and continue using them? Or do I lose all my PowerPC Apps completely? Or has this been fixed in Mountain Lion? It also said on Lion if they had a second partition for Windows, it would be deleted. I don't know how long it would be before I am able to upgrade (money wise because I have some other programs I need to purchase soon, and I also want to upgrade my MacBook to 6GB RAM [it has 2GB] so it might be a while before I get the money) and I am planning on installing Windows XP on a second partition after I learn more about how it works, and I'm not sure if they have fixed that issue in Mountain Lion or not. And I know I won't be able to use AirPlay, but oh well. That doesn't bother me. So is it worth it to upgrade to Mountain Lion? Or should I wait till the bugs get worked out? Or should I just stick with Snow Leopard, because I'm perfectly happy with it as it is? [/QUOTE]
