I'm in a middle ground -- I did have 'Classic Theme Restorer' installed, but I can live without it. But I have a few extensions which haven't updated yet (most notably 'rikaichan' which provides dictionary-lookup on hover for Japanese text), and some like Greasemonkey seem to have only managed to get an update at the last second. So I can live with the situation but the transition seems to have been poorly handled -- why did the FF which marked extensions needing update as "legacy" only arrive a week before the one which killed them off? Marking legacy extensions a year or so before the deadline might have helped in increasing user pressure on extension authors to convert earlier... There will always be a long tail of "extension author vanished years ago but it's still used by 10 people", but if widely used things like Greasemonkey are only just sliding in under the deadline then something seems to have gone wrong with the transition plan.
And on the "improvements" side -- I have to say I've never felt the browser was too slow. Sometimes the network is lousy, sometimes stupid websites are terrible, but the browser itself has been just fine for me for years. So I'd rather have had a less painful and abrupt transition, which maybe took a bit longer.
