In some ways I prefer OS9 over X for a lot of the photoshop work I do. OSX does some funny things with workflow, like it tends to not remember the last file you opened, which is really handy when you've opening a whole bunch of files, working on each individually, then saving them. (yes, I've heard of batch processing, but it doesn't apply when each picture requires special attention)
Also, when you're printing in OSX, it tends to dumb down your options, whereas OS9 gives you easy-to-understand options. Also my vresions of Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro are 9 native and don't work in classic, so I end up using 9 as much as X.
Still, I love Firefox, which only works on 10.4.
