- perardi 6y agoI would not go that far. Security changes. iOS integration with AirDrop and Messages. Laptop trackpad gestures. But note what I'm highlighting for the most part: mobile features. They've added good stuff for laptops, and for interfacing with iOS devices. But for desktops, and laptops living on a desk? Not so much. If you're using a full keyboard and a mouse, sans trackpad, I can't think of a lot of real UI enhancements since 10.6. (Which makes total since, given they sell so, so many more laptops than desktops. But still. I get it.)
- yardie 6y agoSnow Leopard was a development bump for all the things that were broken/unoptimized in the switch from PPC to x86. I wouldn't call it the peak of OS X. In hindsight it was the last true developer release. Most of the restrictions weren't in place. As they moved to polish the MacOS for customer use they also buttoned it up.
