My biggest problem when switching was getting the hang of the new UI. 
But everything else about the environment is better, especially the 
infinitely better template support. All of my code compiled and worked 
properly (better, even) when I switched.

If you do have a lot of statics, you should control the order of 
initialization by placing them in functions, ie.

MySingleton &getSingleton()
{
        static MySingleton ms;
        return ms;
}

If you always refer to the "global" instance of MySingleton through the 
getSingleton() call, the order of initialization will always be under 
your control.
