Snow Leopard was incredible. At this point apple needs 2 or 3 consecutive bug fix releases for each platform. Every time a new os comes out I now dread upgrading to it for fear of what will stop “just working”.
- asdff 6y agoAt this point I don't even update the OS from what the machine comes with beyond security updates. It seems like in the last decade there hasn't been a lot worth upgrading for in terms of user experience, since they invented spaces (and subsequently made it worse by switching from a perfectly good multidirectional grid of desktops to a bidirectional selection that takes more time to use). Usually something ends up more annoying or worse in subsequent updates. A shame really, I used to look forward to OS X releases. Now I almost dread them knowing future hardware will be saddled to that OS.
- mberning 6y agoThats a good point, sticking with the OS the machine shipped with. I was on a sierra/high sierra machine for a long time and was recently forced to upgrade to Catalina. What a hateful experience. Everything I use on a daily basis as a developer broke. The worst was my oracle instant client which was now being stiff armed by the os every 10 ms when I tried to run it. I had to go in and open settings > security > allow some .so file to run. Rinse and repeat like a dozen times. What a joke.
