[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1811330, member: 204485"] To start with I do not agree that that Apple has played a decreasing amount of attention on software development. The introduction of a unique new filing system in Mac OS High Sierra and System Integrity Protection (SIP) alone should be enough to illustrate Apple's ongoing commitment to software development. New editing options in Photos, new Screen Capture caperbilities, new touch pad gestures and options, DarkMode, the impending move to 64bit apps only, iTunes controversial dropping of mobile app management, the list goes on and on. What I think you are criticizing is change. Apple has never in my memory removed a function but they have changed the way we access those functions and sometimes they are combined into other actions. This is the way it has always been at each new OSX upgrade. Upgrading more than one or two OSX's at a time would only magnify the quantity of changes making it even more difficult to adjust. It has been demonstrated time and time again that gradual incremental updates ensure mobile device compatibility, security and functions transition smoothly to the next version. Much of El Capitan's OS will not be compatible with the OS after 10.14 Mojave, not least the change from HFS+ to APFS and the removal of 32bit app comparability. Given that Apple tends to remove the last OSX from the App Sore after the release of the next one I personally would not want to stuck running El Capitan when macOSX 10.15 is released. We have seen enough issues with users transitioning from Sierra to High Sierra but at least the issues are current and understood. In a few years they won't be and the software will have evolved so far that the catchup will be difficult to say the least. Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
