I played with 10.4 for the first time relatively recently. I was using VMWare Fusion, which isn't supposed to support OS's prior to Leopard, and Tiger crashed frequently as a result. So I can't fairly evaluate stability, although it was definitely speedy.
But, in terms of visual design... I don't think it's as pretty as Leopard, but what I find intriguing is how well it matches the hardware design of the era. On a Powerbook or PowerPC iMac, I can imagine how the contents of the screen would perfectly match the hardware that framed it.
I don't think Apple has done anything quite like that since...
