Is it worth the update? Does it bog down old devices like Android updates do?

I think it is excellent: like the new look. I have a 4s and it appears to eat the battery so had to switch off loads of stuff (most of which you would turn off anyway).

Meh. Cheese was moved. I kind of like the look, and it hasn't seemed to slow down my machine (an iPad 2). Main decisions points would be can your machine actually be upgraded (can't find the URL but I know that my iPod Touch couldn't be upgraded), and does that security flaw[^] bother you.

Yep - got it and I like it about 95%.
Much, much easier to get to stuff but far too stark and a little hard on the eyes.
Soften it about 10% and it'll be great.
My favourite part is the delicious irony of Apple using the Glass and Metro looks. That's definitely my favourite bit.

OK, I got it too. You're right, way too much white. At least I can turn down the brightness now and save the battery.
Other than that, pretty slick! I particularly like the how Safari works. The control center is also handy.
Overall, I think it is quite an improvemt, though It'll take some time to get used to.
Update
Just noticed the task switcher. Nice, but they imitated Android! Flip to remove. Ha!
Not complaining, it's better if all devices behave in a similar manner.

After installing it, I somehow ended up with more usage space than before.

Check that it didn't delete all media that you didn't buy through itunes.

Installed/upgraded it yesterday.
No real issues; some small little new things to (re)learn.
Will disable a couple of cute gizmos (the parallax things) to save up on battery, but all is working well.

old devices will not support all the new iOS7 features, so it should not be that big an issues with older iPhone/iPod/iPad.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yes, Of course. It is just awesome. The new UI changes are mind blowing.
I am in love with the Siri feature. Still a lot of things to explore.

Going by the comments on my Facebook feed; women and simpletons love it, Fanbois are trying to talk it up with less conviction than normal, everyone else says it is trying to copy Android and Windows as well as removing the need to do anything to use all the battery up.
So. Situation normal.

The new look and feel is great! But...
I immediately found it to feel slower and less responsive.
On the iPad home screen, switching from portrait to landscape and back, I can clearly feel a jagged laggy-ness to it, the smoothness is gone.
I would like to turn off the frosted glass and the 3D wallpaper effects to improve performance, anybody know how?

To turn off the 3D (parallax) wallpaper: Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion

No, Apple fix this problem by not allowing you to update old devices!

My website has been down for about an hour now. I can get to the webhosts account pages but cPanel is unavailable. From the account page, I can check network and server status...says all is great. Thirty minutes ago, I submitted a support ticket and still haven't gotten any response. It sucks that this morning I sent a document proposing software as a service using this webhost, and my colleague is supposed to be demoing this live today.

Well then of course it broke. Nothing ever works when demoed.

I feel your pain man, see if you can restart app pool maybe?

So, after an hour and twenty minutes, the problem is resolved. It was my fault, testing an old executable with old ftp settings apparently blacklisted me. Alls well that ends well, plus I found this http://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf/[^] while troubleshooting.

So the upgrade is finished - so what's changed?
Um...
...Um.
Nope. Can't see anything.
Brilliant!

I think one of the hamsters escaped, that is why the site went down. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
