I personally am going to stick at Snow Leopard. Apple seem hell bent (&
financially, who can blame them) on turning their Mac line of computers
into glorified, very expensive iPads.

Also, judging by the amount of posts I see here, on the Xcode list, etc,
every time there's an upgrade, people spend weeks trying to sort it out
& get back to semblance of normality so they can continue working. Also
I'm fortunate enough not to have to write Mac apps for a living, so SL
works fine for me so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

In all honesty, if it wasn't for Mac Ports, I'd probably just stick to
Linux & have done with it.

Cheers,

  Phil...
