PhpStorm in Lion is absolute bliss for me.

Plus the installation was SIMPLE and CHEAP. Only about $25, downloaded and installed quickly with no problems at all.
The only problem I had was that since I use 2 iMac 27's in screen sharing mode often, the brightness control for the other mac stopped working for some reason - It was fixed when I upgraded it's OS in the end. I mean... how much smoother can you get then that?

I'm on 10.6.8 on the desktop and 10.5.something on the laptop. It's the desktop I use mainly, so I don't care what OS goes on the laptop.
If either of you used anything <10.7 extensively before upgrading to 10.7 (Lion) can you confirm your apps were auto-compatible? namely:
Office 2008
CS4
Aperture 2
DxO Optics 7
Capture NX2
Those are the main apps I don't keep buying upgrade licenses for as they are less important for me to keep updated, but are important to have nonetheless. As they are not up to date, they are most likely to be incompatible, so upgrading to Lion could be much more expensive job than the ?29 Lion cost.... especially for the CS4 suite.
