For the most part, I'm content with MKII and wonder if it is really wor= th
the effort to move to MKIV.  Perhaps the sample is skewed, but after r= eading
the mailing list I get the impression that the current experimental/beta MKIV has a number of bugs and is not particularly feature complete when
compared to MKII.

My current suggestion is that if you find MKII adequate for you use, do not= switch now. Wait until things stablize a bit, or you need an exotic featur= e for which is only availble in MKIV, or you want to help with testing MKIV= .

My experience said that one should switch now.
Lua= tex+mkiv was and is a big change for me .
