I really think the "0 new features" was a fluke of history that elided with marketing. Wikipedia better describes it as, "no new major visual changes." [1] - Finder was completely rewritten in Cocoa - Microsoft Exchange support was added - QuickTime X introduced - Grand Central Dispatch introduced - OpenCL support added - and a bunch of other stuff Each one could have caused issues, but thankfully didn't. However, Snow Leopard did have an issue that could delete all user data [2]. The accident of history is the transition from paid upgrades on physical media to free updates via the web and an increased release cycle. Previous updates were $129, Snow Leopard (Lion and Mountain Lion) was $29, and Mavericks was free. This also was when the 2-3 year release cycle moved to an annual one. The App Store was added as a point release of Snow Leopard.
