Is upgrading to Windows 10 worth it?

Since Windows 10 is free and the update process does not delete the data that I've stored on my computer I'd like to ask those who are a bit more familiar with these new Windows. Are they worth it? How exactly and in which field are they better/worse then Windows 7? Does anyone here have them installed?

Still don't have it running on a daily system, but I've heard from people I know testing it that it's a bit faster, you can remove the metro stuff to make it almost similar to windows 7 layout, multiple desktops is a huge plus for me in terms of workspace but it might not affect yours, and of course you also get the extended update lifetime of a new operating system, access to the metro apps from Windows 8/8.1(if you're into that sorta thing), etc.

Also, you may experience slew of bugs and other things present in a general release before they have a chance to patch, etc.

Every time you download Garry's Mod illegally, Garry makes a bug.

When people ask me "Plz" because its shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because its shorter than "Yes".

I've had a friend who is really into web design and gaming upgrade.  He says it's a lot nicer, and he thinks it's better than Windows 7.  I trust him, but I'm still going to wait another month or so.  I don't want anything to break before I go back to school.

I personally use 10 and I love the new aesthetics and performance, but for some reason I'm getting random freezes and Blue Screen because of my Wifi drivers that aren't updated to 10; so be careful if you do update as some third party drivers might not work.

Not worth atm because of little issues (hamachi tunngle and openvpn do not work, xonar drivers nowhere to be seen etc) and nvidia optimus is poop.
