It's a known issue being tracked in Apples' Radar. I first found a public admission of it in a mailing list post by an Apple employee. My own ticket for this issue is <a href="http://rails.wincent.com/issues/640" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Apart from the NSAppleScript issue I haven't had any problems with Leopard myself.

Apart from the NSAppleScript issue I haven’t had any problems with Leopard myself.

The biggest problem I've run into were network and Java performance regressions - 10.5.3 fixed the former but we're still stuck with the latter since the JDK 1.6 release doesn't help our G5 or 32-bit Intel systems.

I suspect they haven't, however; nothing in the release notes and my own bug report on the subject was marked as "Duplicate/Closed" a long, long time ago. For me it's been a very damaging issue because it's caused one of my applications to crash sporadically and has definitely had a negative impact on the product's image because people assume the fault is in the product rather than in Apple's OS.
