I back RyanZAG here (hey Ryan :) ). I went from 4.1.2 to 4.2, 4.3 and now 4.4.2 without hassles. The exception is KitKat where a lot of developers updated their apps specifically to support the new ART.

[Rant]: I find that it gets a bit silly in iOS land, in the sense that local (South African) devs who have abandoned/flopped apps had to go and update their apps after forever to match the 'look and feel' of the new iOS, whereas with Android one can go without noticing that.

As someone who has done a fair bit of Android development, it's ironic that you mention that. The Android design guidelines tend to change on six month basis, and not always for the better. Sure, the changes are usually smaller, but it can get pretty annoying after a while.
