High Sierra was meh for me. They rewrote the window server to use Metal, but the Nvidia GPU driver was so terrible at it that it sometimes crashed and it was always sluggish. You literally got a performance boost when you switched to the integrated GPU. They fixed most of the issues with Nvidia in Mojave tho. It still leaks memory but at least it's usable.
And I agree that you skipped Mavericks (10.9), it was one of the best releases. I used it for like 3 years but had to update to whatever was current at the end of 2016 because I got a new job and needed the latest Xcode for it.
