Looking back is not always wise. Doing so creates negative feelings
that then interfere with the current.
I got along with XP very well and then got Windows 7. I managed to
get along with 7 but it never got to the point I would throw it all out
and put XP back on for there are always the positives that come with the
new.
If Snow Leopard is what one wants, by all means, put it back in and
use it, be happy and let the rest of us move forward.
I am still with ML but when I feel Yosemite has settled down, will
upgrade to it, which could be months.
Unlike many people, I do not get the latest and greatest simply because
it is the latest and greatest. That is like competing with Mr. Jones
down the street, trying to stay ahead of him.

The reality is, you are going to find problems with any version of an

point. There are oddities that one person may have that cannot be recreated by
another person with any version of an OS. That is just the unfortunate aspect
of computers, even within Mac systems. Personally, going back to Snow Leopard?
Are you crazy? Anyone who says that has not used each of the operating
systems extensively as they have progressed from Tiger. VoiceOver has come a
long way since 10.4, and since I still have a Snow Leopard install available to
me, as well as a Leopard one, I can tell you that you are not missing anything
significant. I have to work with a lady who is still running Snow Leopard and
it's seems antiquated to me when I use it. It's like night and day compared to
VoiceOver in Mavericks. I'd take Mavericks over Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard
or anything else. There are considerable technical differ
ences and advances as well that go beyond VoiceOver. You are drastically
understating things if you are pining for the days of Snow Leopard.

I don't see what is wrong with Mavericks. It's been working absolutely fine for
me.
Any issues I had was because my computer was old. I just got a new Macbook Pro,
and now it runs smoothly. It's been perfectly solid.

Very true in that newer is not always better. My mac came preinstalled with
Lion so I could go back to it if I really wanted to using Internet Recovery. I
could also reinstall Mountain Lion by downloading it from the Mac App Store.
Guess it's each to their own but since my mac is not my primary machine I don't
mind upgrading and living the possible consequences.

Warning: whiny rant ahead.
I made the mistake of reinstalling Snow Leopard on one of my older machines
that supported it. I also learned that my desktop iMac originally came with
it, and that although difficult, I could choose to use it. This would still be
preferable to going back to Windows.
I say "Mistake" because using Snow Leopard again, even for a short while, made me realise just how
stupid and pointless all subsequent releases of OS X have been. I mean, really, it's just gimmicks and iOS
envy. The small number of worthwhile features that came with newer OS releases could easily have been
foregone or substituted if it meant getting back what I most liked about a clean, stable, functional OS like
Snow Leopard. How could I have upgraded three OS releases and not noticed that? I guess the
"Magic" of Apple is really that they can convince people to accept unwelcome change, even for some
trifling little benefit which they will sell as a "Feature" to justify an entire OS upgrade.
So, to answer your question, the reason to install ML over Mavericks is that
newer is not always better, but that ML is a good bit more stable and comes
from a better cut. However, I do recommend it in this instance, because Apple
has abandoned accessibility support for ML, and you won't get system software
updates that address any accessibility issues. I know; I asked. There are a
couple of minor changes in Mavericks besides that make it worth having, like
invisible Time Machine backups, and multi-process Safari. However, you'll have
to learn how to work the new iBooks, if you need it, and there are definite
stability issues.
/me wonders if he should install Snow Leopard on my primary desktop, and live
forever in a better time ...
No, probably not. I would only hurt myself in the long run.
Yes, I saw the latest Yosemite, in case anyone's wondering. I'm not telling
you what to expect, but you can sign up for the beta for free.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
