Quite right: stability is king. I can count on my two hands the number of features since, say, iOS 6 or OS X Snow Leopard that are actually relevant and necessary and that could have been engineered to perfection by now. The rest of it is so much trash. Sadly, yeah, Apple is always about “Pushing the envelope” which for practical purposes means we have to endure a never ending stream of unfinished tripe, especially now that the release cycle is once-a-year and driven by hardware release and business roadmaps rather than software quality. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always excited by the next big thing (TM), but it’s always a tragic realisation to me (and always too late) that the problems in the new stuff are vastly more damaging to the product than the absence of the features in the older and more stable product, so that downgrading (or, increasingly, not upgrading) are both viable and necessary and positively affect my experience. If I could use, say, Mountain Lion and iOS 6, I probably would.
But hey, at least it’s better than Android. :) -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
