Still, if you're doing a clean install on a new machine, it takes time
to install & configure all the old software on the new machine.

My Mac upgrades have always gone quite smoothly, and the latest was the most
effortless. I’m running OS X 10.11.3 on the iMac Retina 5K. One would expect
the latest hardware and latest OS to work well together and they do. With a
4GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 32 Gigs of RAM and the Radeon R9 M395 graphics
card it rips right through any PhotoShop job that I’ve ever attempted. I have
quite a few peripherals: two printers, a scanner, a Wacom tablet and a second
monitor (another iMac 27 running in target mode), but there was nothing to set
up, just plug and play. The OS updated all the drivers on installation. I
expect I would have had more difficulty had I tried to run an older OS.

Rick, I'm still on 10/6.8 myself for the reasons you just mentioned.:-)

And that, Mark, is why I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my photo computer.
Last year I upgraded my work computer to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). It
took me a day and a half to install and configure the software and get
things working--which is more unscheduled time than I have most weeks.

So, a motherboard transplant has taken place. Fast, multi-core
processor, lots of fast RAM, USB3, etc. And, as the subject line says,
it's agony. Not the physical replacement of the motherboard, of
course. That took an hour or so and was a snap. But you really need to
re-install the O.S. when you replace a motherboard, so I went with a
clean install. Which also isn't really a big deal. The big deal is
re-installing and configuring all your applications. That's the agony.
After a day and a half of stress I've got all the drivers up to date
for the new hardware and all the basics installed (color management,
profiling software, etc.). Now I get to add all my main apps,
including parts of various Adobe suites (some from CS6, some from CS5
and some from CS4). I haven't even dared count how many other apps I
have to set up.
Time to take up drinking, I think.
(But the new computer does seem very fast and slick, so maybe this'll
all be worth it.)
A fast computer is worth almost any pain it causes.
