I did not have a disastrous experience. I had just gotten a new
Macbook with Mountain Lion and Mavericks came out shortly after that.
And history repeats itself today with Yosemite.
There were many complaints about Mavericks. Meanwhile, I worked with
ML, trying to forget Windows. Finally I upgraded to Mavericks about a
month ago! (smiles)
I am still learning to use the Mac but it may not take me as long to
move to Yosemite. Maybe a month? I will install iOS 8 at the same time
but not intil both are better behaved.

I agree. While I would stop short of placing Apple on a pedestal, as no one or
company is worthy of that level of responsibility, I am realistic about the
varying preferences and needs of a customer base consisting of millions of
people, and I am steadfastly grateful for Apple and its integral part in
allowing me to complete the essential tasks of my job and to enjoy much of what
my sighted peers enjoy on a reasonably equitable playing field out of the box.
I intend to write to Apple as someone who continues to appreciate its devices
and software a great deal, and urge it not to forget little me and those like
me.
I think any "absolutist" or all-or-nothing statements do no good.
I decided after a disastrous experience with Mavericks when it was first
released that I would never again update immediately after a first release. I
am anxious to avail myself of continuity, hand off, iBooks, and answering calls
on my MacBook, but I can wait. I know for a fact that a VoiceOver lag will
bother me in the extreme, and the very first thing I did was read Applevis's
article on the bugs, even though I had no intention of updating right away. I
am currently content, and I await Yosemite's evolution.
