I am really amazed to see someone say such a statement.
Load up 0.8 on your OD and use it for a while.  You will notice
things in even 2.0 that give you incredibly more functionality.
Just to name a couple: services, the slider on the dock, etc.

I'm not even going to go into how NS 3.0 gives you so much more
functionality (Much better fax support, Netware and AppleShare
clients, DBKit, ProjectBuilder, RenderMan (!!!), PhoneKit) and
doesn't add that much to your disk space needs.
