I just don't want to trade one set of problems for another. Some of the Mountain Lion annoyances are small and fixable (Gatekeeper) but they add up to be just plain annoying. I haven't messed with it much but their limitation on subfolders is just annoying. I'm sure it's aimed at simplifying things for average users but power or heavy users need something that can conform to their style of work.

I was a bit concerned about Gatekeeper but it's turned into a non-issue. Not sure what you mean about subfolders, unless you're talking about the issue with iCloud documents where you can only create one folder, no subs? I think I've saved one doc into iCloud as I only have one machine, I use Dropbox for everything basically.

I skipped Lion because I'd heard so much bad, I like ML though, it's pretty solid.

Gatekeeper is a Good Thing. It has a reputation for being about restricting apps you can run on your Mac, which is unfair. I leave Gatekeeper enabled: if I try and run an app that isn't code-signed, all I need to do is right click and click "open" and accept the warning.

As others have said, ML is solid. All consumer features can be safely ignored: don't like iCloud documents? Turn it off and use your Mac as you always have. Under the hood, ML is as good as the Mac has ever been.
