I&#x27;m having similar thoughts about OS X itself.<p>I have two MacBook Pros right now. One is a 2008 champ that&#x27;s still going despite having been dropped several times. It&#x27;s got an SSD and maxed out RAM, running Snow Leopard. It actually does really well.<p>One is the last 2012 pre-retina that just dropped out of Apple Care last August. It&#x27;s running Mavericks. It has sleep&#x2F;wake issues. Firefox can actually trigger a restart of the entire machine. It actually seems notably less stable than Snow Leopard.<p>I&#x27;m afraid to upgrade. I actually don&#x27;t know anyone who didn&#x27;t have problems with Yosemite. I&#x27;ve been trying to figure out if El Capitan is actually better.<p>Or, if not, how I can escape the platform after pretty much 15 straight years of making it my personal choice.
