But by the time they hit their final release of 10.6.8, it was pretty damn good. Then Lion came out with bugs left and right. You're comparing 10.6.1 to 10.7.

But by the time they hit their final release of 10.6.8, it was pretty damn good. Then Lion came out with bugs left and right. You're comparing 10.6.1 to 10.7.1, but there were a bunch of improvements in between that you're omitting. And while you personally may not have had any issues (and I also haven't had any huge complaints w/ Sierra+), it's not like they haven't had their fair share of badly embarrassing bugs: - https://www.macrumors.com/2018/01/10/macos-high-sierra-app-store-password-bug/ https://www.macrumors.com/2018/01/10/macos-high-sierra-app-s... - http://fortune.com/2017/11/28/apple-security-flaw-vulnerability-bug-mac-high-sierra-root-password/ http://fortune.com/2017/11/28/apple-security-flaw-vulnerabil... - https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/26/macos-high-sierra-plain-text-external-apfs-disk-utility/ https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/26/macos-high-sierra-plain-text-...

I don't recall where I omitted anything in my original post or compared 10.6.1 to 10.7.1, care to explain? And I'm not discounting that bugs exist, just that in my experience I've not hit any huge ones. And snow leopard also had its share of badly embarrassing bugs.

  As mentioned in TFA, the home directory bug was fixed in 10.6.2. What badly embarrassing bugs exist in 10.6.8?

      As I mentioned in my first reply, that's the final release of 10.6. Your first comment mentioned bugs that had already been patched long before the final release, which is what everyone is referring to when looking back fondly at Snow Leopard.
