Yes I upgraded as well. As a designer I haven't faced any problems in my work so far. All the design tools work nicely as before except Adobe products(which I'm not using for a long time now but I read about Adobe tools facing some problem on internet)

#12No, I have not. I don't trust the Apple enough to break my workflow at the moment although I don't even use any 32 bit apps (at least that I'm aware of).
I will also wait for some .2 or further release.

#13I usually upgrade my travel laptop first before my daily driver laptop. So far, no troubles on my travel laptop. However I've only used it minimally.
I'm going to give my main laptop another month before I upgrade, I imagine.
Re: Ask HN: Have You Upgraded to macOS Catalina Yet?
#14Yes. No serious issues so far, and I like being able to use the Jira iPad app.
Whoa, didn't know that was a thing. Vaguely I have heard about running iOS stuff on Desktop, but I didn't follow closely because I had no interest in it. Now.. I do.
Will have to give this a try, thanks!

#15Yeah I was on the betas because I wanted to checkout SwiftUI, I upgraded to the public release a few weeks ago. I had issues with the XCode beta during the beta period and some weird glitches in system preferences but all that seems fixed now. I seem to be super lucky that I haven't had any of the issues people have been talking about.
Re: Ask HN: Have You Upgraded to macOS Catalina Yet?
#16No - the new features don't outweigh the potential headache for me. I don't see the point right now, other than getting rid of the annoying popup (but still nowhere near as annoying as the windows update popups were haha).
Re: Ask HN: Have You Upgraded to macOS Catalina Yet?
#17No— I’ve been burned before with upgrading soon after release and I worry that some of my audio software won’t work.

#18I've upgraded one of my machines in order to try native jira app from AppStore.
Plot twist: I can't login to AppStore now from that device, it just says "unexpected error" or something like that. No reboot/relogin fixed that no matter what. Plenty of people with the same issue as me as well who can't use AppStore.

You can't do it with just any iOS app. It has to be recompiled by the dev. It's basically just rebuilding it for X64 instead of ARM64 and linking slightly differently though, so lots of apps are doing it.

#20No. Just 1hr ago a colleague accidentally upgraded to Catalina and her computer is stuck on an infinite restart loop.
