There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to "upgrade" to Xcode 4, unless you're doing iOS development or want to publish OS X apps in the App Store. Having looked at Xcode 4 for a while yesterday it seems to have too many teething troubles for general OS X development, and personally I find the new UI bewildering (it seems even worse than Visual Studio, if that were possible), so I'll be sticking with 3.2.6 for for the foreseeable future...
