I have and **iPad 2** with **5.1.1** installed. I didn't update to iOS 6 because I didn't want Apple Maps and have my VLC app deleted. Now since the majority of the apps don't get any updates I thought of updating to iOS 6 (thanks to Google releasing the maps as stand-alone), but that(thanks to Apple offering update to **only** iOS 7 and nothing in between) is not possible anymore.

My question is - is it worth it, for iPad 2, to download the iOS 7 update? The system now(5.1.1) is still very smooth, the only thing I miss are some updates to few apps and an update for the WebKit(browsers are constantly crashing when some websites have really rich JavaScript features...).
