Google Analytics is prettier to look at and carries more weight (though it probably reports 10% less traffic than SM)... plus NOT obsessing over real time stats let me concentrate on more productive things. I've had a few requests for a subscribe to comments feature which I added. I'm not sure if I can track how many people are using it, but it was easy enough to add. I tried a few Digg plugins, but it just seemed a little too gratuitous - the people who use Digg know how to submit without me advertising it. I haven't put it in yet, but a related posts plugin is useful. Lastly, if you're thinking of upgrading to WordPress 2.1 (released yesterday) be aware some of your plugins may break. The auto-save feature sounds great, but I'm thinking of holding off until 2.1.1 is released in case they missed any bugs. I too killed Sitemeter.
