My experiences with OS 9 were primarily music-related, and I found that if I was running Logic Audio and Pro Tools LE, then even booting a relatively "small" app like Roxio Toast was just asking for a freezeup. Pretty much everyone I knew who made music with OS 9 had similar problems.
As far as the whole whinging vs. whining thing goes, they are clearly different words to me, too. Don't know what Mr. Que was driving at there.

Hell, I even use Pages when I have a Word file to convert. Otherwise, it's BBEdit for writing or InDesign when I need to process words.

A "rollback" option would be sweet, wouldn't it?

alba, tiger has "spotlight" which is still a little too slow but is cool cos it indexes like everything on your hard drive including mail, address book, the contents of word docs, etc - i like it a lot

I'm guilty of iPhoto use, mostly to batch unload photos before uploading to flickr. iTunes as well, although the rest of the iLife stuff I barely touch. I have no idea what people have against Dashboard though, I've only ever had one widget that ate memory and even know a few people who use konfabulator on their pcs for a similar deal...
Conflating Spotlight and Quicksilver is kind of dumb when you're talking about a full-filesystem search versus whatever you have Quicksilver set to index. QS works great if I know what I'm running, Spotlight is nice if I'm just searching for a file.

Faulty RAM stick finally replaced, I have eschewed Mail, Dashboard, and a host of other worthless garbage from my Applications folder and used Spotlight (ahoy!) to find and destroy their families. Now to download this Cog business, and Transmission, and Fugu all over again, and get to business.

I put a shortcut to my Applications folder in my dock, then rightclick on it to get access to them all. But yeah, Spotlight's OK.
Anyway, I've gone back to 10.4.0 and all is dandy. Snappy, even. I've got Azureus running in the background and I'd not even noticed. I'll see how it goes and if some app needs a later version and I'm feeling reckless I'll try out the 10.4.6 combo update.
