Since I installed it on my iBook and my iMac DV SE, I've had 3 complete system crashes when opening too many applications at the same time. With 10.2.x I didn't have any crashes in 9 months! Also, networking in Panther is crap. Exposé is useful to me, but thats the only thing which really seems to work in Panther. Finder often crashes when searching for files. The menubar sometimes gets messed up. I.e. it sometimes doesnt hide the menulets when an application menu gets too large to display all of 'em. Safari seems to have a huge memory leak. After having it running for like 2 days, it takes up more than 150 MB of RAM, even if I'm not using it during that time! I'm thinking about switching back to 10.2.8, until Panther is at 10.3.5 and usable. But I'm really pissed about Apple for bringing out such a buggy system as Panther is right now.

Exposé is nice and I like being able to easily spellcheck in Safari, but that's about all I can say in Panther's favor. In Panther I've had programs crashing constantly and a complete system crash every other day. I also can't use my USB Gamepad because somehow it conflicts with Exposé (it disables the Function keys). It also makes Unreal Tournament 2003 incompatible with ATI video cards (until the next UT patch arrives). I'm seriously considering going back to Jaguar. Every morning I open Software Update and pray. Yeah, I agree completely. Exposé is nice and I like being able to easily spellcheck in Safari, but that's about all I can say in Panther's favor.
