As an ancillary to the Thread: What made you stick with 3.x?, what made you take the leap from 3.x to Pathfinder?
For me, it was largely the OGL. Everything in Pathfinder is under OGL, which means it can all be published at places like d20pfsrd.com. I also like the general trend of the PF changes, tough they often didn't go far enough for my tastes. Still, shortened buff durations, unified combat maneuvers, more abilities for mundane classes, and more color to spellcasters all contributed.
The downs? In the beginning, there were lots and lots of small changes that crept up on me - it took a long time to become a confident Pathfinder GM. The changes are subtle, but the overall effect is remarkable - PF is another game than 3.5.
