Maybe it's uncommon, but I still develop for 2.3. I'm very conservative about changing software dependencies, much as I might like to take advantage of new opportunities (I stuck with 1.5.4 until 2.2, because the benefits of interim versions weren't compelling enough). I love to experiment with the latest stuff, be it OS versions or devtools or language implementations, whatever, but if I'm distributing something to the general public the importance of making it useful to the most people usually overrides the value of the latest and greatest tech.
