Its well worth it!
The last incarnation P12 is a much more "photoshop-alike"  version than 
anything in the past. Better UI, less clutter, stable! (at least much 
better than it used to be) 64 bit friendly, custom hotkeys etc.

FWIW a minor yet important for me feature  that hasn't been touched, and 
I used to use it all the time as a AE Vector Paint alternative, is the 
Scripts panel/ functionality, that records a drawing session and on 
playback it can save it as frames creating a movie file of the process.
During the Pre HD era it had this 2GB framestack limitation which at the 
time did not mater as most of the work was SD. Now however it does, and 
when the framestack reaches 2Gb it stops giving "out of memory" error...
As a workaround I now capture the script playback with camtasia.
