I have a few users on Jaguar, but most seem to be on 10.3.8 at the
moment.  Given the new APIs in Panther and Tiger, which can really
help speed up development, is it worth the effort to support Jaguar?

I don't think anyone can answer this for you. It depends on your market and how many resources you have to throw at the project. If using newer APIs allows you to publish something that wouldn't otherwise be published, the answer is obvious.


The target audience is a key factor. The more mass-market the product, the more you'll have to consider earlier releases. Most casual consumers won't upgrade their OS until they buy a new computer.

If you do have a mass market product, take a look at what popular consumer-level commercial packages require. They've likely gathered a lot of data on who's out there.
