It is for me. I'm doing lot of graphic-related stuffs and Panther have been like son to me so far.
Finder is a little slow but it's still acceptable. Most features is too cool to lose, especially Expos�

i put it on the iBook, went "ooh!" at Expos�, "ahh!" at Font Book, but "hmm." at the spinning beach ball which greeted me, pretty much every time i clicked anything in Finder. also, it seemed to have trouble finding some machine on my network.
i'm currently reinstalling 9/10.2.6 on my iBook

Same for me. I fresh installed Panther on a separate partition from 10.2.6 and it was fun to play with but Finder actions almost ALWAYS brought beach ball. This included mounting disk images, opening folders on Desktop, etc. in 4-6 months this is going to be one awesome OS.

Fun to play with, but it kernel panicked after a few hours.. Plus I can't bear to give up my oh-so-very-modded Jaguar for an OS that doesn't even have themes for it yet.

Panther is clearly not ready for prime-time. From Steve's announcement, it looks like a final version is actually *6* months away ("by the end of this year"). Most end-user products are actually very near completion. Expos� is the coolest feature.
Some back-end stuff (SMB/AD/other system stuff) is not quite ready. Unfortunately *lots* of Xcode work is no where near ready and I believe they will not release Panther until the developer tools are (nearly) final.
I will not run it 100% until at least the next developer preview.
