Yep. I just updated my desktop from 10.14 to 10.15 only because I had to. Best to stay a couple of years behind. Not like the Apple of 15 years ago where their stuff just worked.

I started using OS X with Snow Leopard (before it reaches 10.6.8), but already then my colleagues were telling me not to rush on the first release of whatever next major versions, and wait for the .1 update instead.

Snow Leopard was the greatest OS release of all time. No new user-level features. They made it faster and more stable. Why do folks insist that every new release has to have new features? Why not just make the current features more stable and efficient!?

I ignore macOS updates as a self preservation technique until something forces my hand such as buying a new computer or Xcode complaining it only runs on a particular release. Between macOS, cpu architecture changes, and the fast pace of Electron’s release cycle (node ABI vs native modules), I’m constantly terrified about keeping builds running. Each upgrade … I’m just clenching my chest waiting for the other shoe to…

My Mrs is an Astrophysicist and she is exactly the same. In her case she is terrified that Apple will move stuff around and break her paths rendering her EMacs setup unusable. Curious to know how to manage all her pipelines, iraf, python, R, Fortran and general fits processing and sundry as well without it breaking every. Single. MacOS. Upgrade. She only upgrades OS’s every time her funding gets her a new machine. Which is infrequently. Like every three years or so. She uses MacPorts.

Apple is badly, badly in need of a “code red” style freeze on new features for macOS and iOS. Even very basic things which should be rock solid are not. I just had a kernel panic when copying files to an smb mount. No issue when I do the same copy mounted as nfs. Ridiculous in this era.

Messages gives me a spinning ball every time I try to search. It’s maddening!

Even if it finds some search results, taking one won’t take you to it, just some random message partway there.

Some of these may not be bugs. For example, I actually prefer this: > Mail now loses the mailbox selection when you start a search, instead changing the selection to All Mailboxes, which is rarely the scope that I want. This one isn’t new to Ventura. This happened all the time to me as far back as Big Sur: > External drives still take minutes to mount or sometimes never mount automatically. Sometimes I can manually m…

>The real question is, has the author opened Feedback Requests about these things? If not, don’t expect them to get fixed any time soon. And if you do open 'Feedback Requests', don't expect them to get fixed any time soon.

Yeah, I’ve felt that pain, for sure. The flip side is that if you don’t open a feedback request, don’t expect it to get fixed ever. They can’t fix a bug they aren’t aware of or don’t have steps to reproduce.
