This is how one makes the most of a new product. Look at the good in
it and learn to make the best of the not so good. Alex, you are not
missing anything. We start somewhere. We cannot start any sooner than
that. I did start with using DOS but missed using key punch technology.
Did I miss out? LOL

Agreed. Mavericks is running fine, especially since I dumped Gmail for the much
smoother and easier to use iCloud Mail. I started my Mac journey with Lion, so
maybe I'm missing something, I don't know. Still, the increased iCloud syncing
between iOS and OS X, the new voices, and all the other improvements make
Mavericks the best Mac OS I've yet used.

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
