"TUAW talks about the growing swell of upcoming apps which will use Leopard APIs, and therefore, will require Leopard to run. I'm sure some users are wondering why developers are doing this, and some developers are wondering if they should do the same. Many early adopter end-users are planning to upgrade to Leopard regardless, but some might want to wait for various reasons. From the casual observer's perspective, the obvious thing to do is support older versions of Mac OS X in order to have access to a larger market. In a sense, that's true. But there's more to the story."

Pre-existing apps will continue to run in Leopard. If a 3rd party dev's latest version adds Leopard only API functionality resulting in one needing to go to Leopard then you must determine how valuable this "functionality" is to your work.
If not then ignore upgrading that application.
It has nothing to do with whether or not you upgrade to Leopard.
