Well, for several reasons I would switch to M&M. First of all, the Flying Blue program, in which I have been a platinum member for 7 years, hasn't become attractive anymore since 1 Apr 2009 (new rules, less advantages for elites). And secondly, as I will be traveling a lot to Austrlalia and Singapore in the coming years, my preference goes to Singapore airlines (who have a very good schedule) compared to AF or KLM who do not operate any flights to Australia themselves but in code share only.
But judging from the comments on LH (but does it also apply to the frequent flyer program M&M), the grass isn't always greener on the other side :-)
