Does it offer anything compelling?
And a couple more questions (rhetorical):
And has it been fully tested? Does it work with all the add-ins?
We don't upgrade immediately here because we want to make sure new versions are stable. Additionally, we (Jupitermedia) actually has around 30 forums, so while it might be easy to upgrade one forum, we have to maintain and manage ~30, so it becomes a bigger project to upgrade. As such, we don't simply jump onto each new upgrade.
Having said that....
We do have ~30 forums, so when a new upgrade comes out, we have people (such as JPnyc) who are watching and looking to see if it is something we should move onto quickly or something we should hold out on. Often we find that it is a wiser move to take upgrades slowly so as to avoid any unforeseen issues that could cause us downtime or grief with add-ins/plug-ins.
So I would expect we will upgrade at some point; however, I'm sure it will never be as quickly as many people here would like :)

It's still in Beta. I would never install unproven software on a production site let alone a beta.
3.6.8 is the most recent/stable release, it is very good not sure how it would work with the plugins though.
3.7 just went Beta 5 just this past wednesday so its not even close to being a production release. There will probably still be more beta releases as 3.7 is a major change from 3.6.8.

Post #18 is where they show that feature for 3.7 (Digg, del.icio.us, Stumbleupon, Google).
