One of the great things about using linux is the kernel really does matter to both users and developers, and every release tends to bring relevant goodies and fixes. Due to the unparalleled transparency of not just a GPL source but a completely open development model, there's a whole lot more than just a version number to appreciate and investigate if so inclined. Also having the bulk of drivers in-tree, kernel releases affect a lot more than just core stuff like the scheduler, memory management, and interrupt controllers.
