As soon as the Beta tag is removed or version 1.0 is reached then it will be my default. It is my default at work as I love the Windows version.

No Click2Flash is another critical reason I'm on Safari.

I agree. I wonder what others are doing with Safari that it would be slow or crashy. I'll give the edge on being slightly faster in load times but it's certainly as fast as Chrome. 64bit Safari is blazing fast. The only thing that I wish Safari had is the unified address bar even though I question the security concerns from it. Right now I use Keywurl and got rid of the search bar in Safari.

Another reason I won't switch is that I'm a MobileMe user. I like having my bookmarks sync OTA to my iPhone.
 
I find Chrome much faster and smoother. I do miss the graphic history of Safari but it would not be reason for me to use it over Chrome at the moment.
 
Safari + AdBlock is the fastest option on mac. Too bad Chrome doesn't have an AdBlock solution because it just might be faster than Safari. Most pages waste processing on ads than anything else. You'd be surprised how smoother pages scroll and how faster they load. Not to mention battery power saved not processing all the expensive flash and javascript animations.

For anyone interested, you can find AdBlock for Safari here.

You must run tell Safari to run in 32-bit mode if you're a Snow Leopard user. Easy instructions are on the linked site.
