Not me. I'm still on 8.04 :/

Same here. For most things it makes little difference, but over time I'm finding that some apps I want to install are rather stubborn about their dependencies.

So I have a dated vlc, a dated Amarok, etc.

I want to update, but I need to do a solid disk image backup of my laptop first in case shit happens.

I've been running 9.x or 10.x or so on my desktop, with Trinity KDE3, and have been pretty happy with it; hibernation started working after a somewhat recent kernel update. :)

There hasn't been a better media player since Amarok 1.4, and it's no longer in the repository :-(. Even Pana and Clementine which aim to be remakes of Amarok 1.4 fail to meet all of the nice subtleties. And we all know what a piece of shit Amarok 2.x is...

I tried getting Amarok 1.4 to build on my mac, but that failed. :(

I really like Amarok 1.4. Don't like 2.x. (Don't like KDE 4, either, so I'm glad Trinity is around, despite its quirks).

Wow, Trinity is impossible to search for. May I have a link, sir?

As well as the 10.10 laptop mentioned elsewhere, I have a laptop on 9.04, which is rock-solid. I won't be upgrading it. It will likely reach its eol on 9.04. Most stable and reliable release since 5.10, in my experience.
