You (and colleagues) must have a strange workload. Despite my misgivings about an in-place file system change, the switch to 10.13 was pretty much painless. I use software from the latest Apple stuff, to aging programs from Adobe and other third parties, to GNU Emacs, to scripts written decades ago, so it doesn't seem like general breakage.

On 10.13, it's stuck on "Configuring printer" forever. The printer driver is the currentmost available from the vendor, and the OS fully patched. Or something as grave as the famous empty password root backdoor. This alone is sufficient for me to not upgrade as long as possible - when something like this manages it into production, what else got missed?
- threeseed 9y ago> Or something as grave as the famous empty password root backdoor. You mean the issue that was fixed quite a while ago now ? I really don't understand the logic behind your position. OSX really is as buggy as it's always been. At least it's buggy with the latest security fixes applied.
- paulie_a 9y agoWhile alot has happened recently, I wouldn't consider 4-5 weeks a "while ago". It was an egregiously stupid bug that should have never happened.
