[QUOTE="erics72, post: 1671758, member: 316826"] My question is, are there any power users here that are on Yosemite? eg. Designers, Editors (video or sound), Pro Photographers. You know, the people that have kept Apple alive during it's dismal days before the iPod and iPhone era. How are you guys with Yosemite and your work flow on it. Since Lion, I've found the Mac OS, has removed many of the features that I've found very useful for my work. I'm currently staying put right now with Mountain Lion, I would have preferred to stay on 10.6.x, but if I wanted to upgrade my graphics softwares, I had to upgrade to at least 10.8.x. Many of the features I've grown accustomed to were either removed, or you had to find a workaround to get them back. The Mac OS used to be simple, efficient, and reliable for me. But since upgrading to ML, I've found my Mac Pro 8-core Xeon to be sluggish, and laggy. This system is a workhorse. Loved the way it ran on SL. Not so much on ML. And from the things I've heard of Maverick and Yosemite, it's even worse. Basically, it's running like Windows now. No longer user friendly. No longer catered to power users. All glitz and glam, bloated with things I don't use or need. Which bogs down my system. Is this the new way of Apple? Force people to upgrade their hardware every other OS release? Or else you'll get these lags? Like they do with iPhones. My 5S was peppy and reliable on iOS 7, since updating to 8, it's been laggy. I'm most certain that if I upgraded to the iPhone 6, I'd find that speed back and reliability back. Just like iPhone 6 users will start to notice their phones slow down when they update to iOS 9. Older iPhones will definitely need to upgrade when 9 comes out. And if you don't update to 9, you won't be able to install or update to newer apps. Caught between a rock and a hard place. I miss Jobs. Cook is too much of a businessman. Only cares about profit. Apple has lacked innovation since Jobs passed. [/QUOTE]
