yeah, it feels like in 2010, you had awesome mac and pc options. Snow Leopard was perhaps the best OS ever.

I really liked the fluid looking UI, the bulb-like window control buttons and the nice glass effects. Modern macOS GUI is not that interesting or nice to work with.

  Yeah. It's like they are applying blindly flat principle without any taste for something nice or pleasant to look at. Maybe in the future, we will go back to something like this.

    Yep, the old style had a joy to it, the current grey and flat is boring.

Snow Leopard was so stable. I went months at a time without restarting or having major bugs. I wish we could get that reliability back.

  (12:46) ~/src/landedcost/main-site/app/utils [vikram7119-master] $ uptime 12:47 up 15 days, 17:26, 4 users, load averages: 2.09 2.15 1.95 Sierra has been an absolute rock for me. My last reboot was due to an OS update.

    Get ready to reboot again.

      Currently at 24 days. :/

    I'm not sure I'd brag about a 15 day uptime. I found I had to reboot Snow Leopard every 30-40 days, but running 3 web browsers with a ton of tabs open will do that.

      Who's bragging?

  This I don't get either. I've ran linux for years with in this order: * slackware * redhat * debian All were on home-built PCs that had no special insight into them, and were very much not top of the range. They have been media servers and a desktop, on 24x7. None had stability issues, ever.

If I could have a 2010 15" Unibody Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard but with today's retina screen, CPU/chipsets and ports (and maybe more battery in place of the optical), I would be SO happy with that setup.
