I use Unity3D and everytime there is a new macOS update, I always procrastinate it for a year at least. This year around, I was very tempted to update it, early last week. Looking at this feed, I ain't going to do it. I have an iOS app to publish & can't do anything stupid.

I have a similar attitude. At the end of the day, MacOS updates have zero chance of helping me get work done faster, yet they have low but non-trivial chance of halting progress on work for a few hours due to obscure issues. There just seems no upside to upgrading - I just wait until either I'm forced to or starting a completely new project just to pay off a tech debt of sorts. I'll caveat this by saying I don't work in the Apple ecosystem so don't have any dependencies there, the tools I run are orthogonal to MacOS specific features, so I don't really care about them per se.

  this, a hundred times. I stayed on snow leopard for years, and I can barely notice anything better in Mojave, and about nothing in Catalina either. On the other hand, the weather widgets in the dashboard have now stopped working, and nobody seems to care, because that's not a cool feature anymore.

Me too, I've been using Unity for over 10 years. Having said that, I simultaneously develop on Mac & PC and right now don't have an iOS project - so I took the leap. No issues with Catalina with Unity. However there are a few other minor annoyances; finder seems a bit unstable with network drives (force restart is your friend), time machine corrupts NAS backups, and the occasional mess-up with my dual monitor setup. Other than that it's been fine FYI.

I had to install Mojave on another partition and I dual-boot to that if I need to use Unity. But the last time I used it was about 3 months ago, Unity might have gotten a few updates in the meantime.
