Personally, I think any host that switches to PHP5 is really very stupid.

Most scripts are not ready for PHP5... I've done a lot of reading on it and have been doing a lot of practice with it I love the new OOP features.

And seriously guys, how come you haven't mentioned the big XML update? In PHP4 XML was a pain in the ARSE! But in PHP5 we have 4 XML wrappers which are better than they've even been.

There's also all the new iterators which are pretty freakin' awesome
