Seems like there aren't any truly outstanding features and Lion works fine.

Tabbed browsing and multi monitor support.

Default I will move to Mavericks (Mac OS 10.9)

I agree, but I am still going to upgrade to Mavericks.

Apple has a slide show that depicts 10 reasons to love Mavericks and I don't care about any of them. https://help.apple.com/osx-mavericks/whats-new
Not one of the 10 is useful to me.

But, I have many applications and someday one of them will be updated and it will require Mac OS 10.9.

I would go to Application compatibility table - RoaringApps and make the apps you do have are compatible.

It’s free so what’s the advantage keeping Mountain Lion—provided your apps are compatible? There are some “under the hood” tweaks that improve battery life, which alone would be reason to switch.

After I updated, I was tearing my hair out trying to get keynote updated app to put the slide show on to the other monitor. They took the setting out of keynote preferences. I was regretting the update until I posted on the Apple forums. There's a setting in Mission Control that I had to uncheck. Now everything is beautiful again! I see no reason to not update now.

^^^ sorry I meant tabbed finder. The only downside i've found (and this really irks me) is I can no longer enable the 2d dock when it's at the bottom of the screen.

Exactly. It's free, finally gives us proper 801.11ac, improves battery life, etc. Even if you don't care about the user-facing changes (although who hasn't been wishing for Finder tabs for years?), the under the hood changes are well worth the upgrade, especially considering that it doesn't cost anything.

One of the most frustrating things about OSX. Apple has supported multiple monitors for much longer than Windows but it's always sucked. When Windows introduced it 15 years ago, they got it right. It took way too long for Apple to catch up. It's one of the features of Mavericks that I'm looking forward to.

Are these really features they're just now adding? I am not being sarcastic, that is mind boggling.
