As a long-time macOS user, I don't upgrade to a new version until x.y.5. I've just had too many issues over the years, with stability and application compatibility. Of course, for development, I install it into a VM right after release.
As a long time macOS user[1], I've always installed on public release and I've only ever experienced issues maybe once or twice. Rare enough that I can't think of any specific issues.
[1]didn't really pay attention to version numbers before 7.6, but I guess "install on public release" didn't begin until OS X...
I'm not a macOS user, but if the situation is anything like on Windows, then luck has nothing to do with it. The updates by and large work just fine for almost everyone, but with such a widely deployed product you inevitably will still see hundreds or thousands of people that experience issues.
It looks like waiting is not going to help in this case. It’s not like 32 bit apps were accidentally broken. When Apple kicks something to the curb they do it forever. I’m probably stuck on Mojave for good.
Logic and Numerology. More so for Numerology, if I'm being honest. I could probably get along with any DAW after the initial learning curve. Plus, I make heavy use of IAC Buses. But, I believe there's a Windows version that people use.
