Meanwhile in OS X land, we need another Snow Leopard! Forget new features. Go on a bug hunt and fix the mess!
Snow leopard — the 1950’s of OSs — everything was better then, as long as you didn’t want to look forward.
ya. i was supporting a friend’s 2009 macbook running SL. it seemed so old fashioned. the contacts dont even sync w/ her iphone! there are literally no iCloud hooks in it.

All of his suggested fixes are so that he can continue to (stupidly) use his iPad as his “primary computer.” Most people don’t do that.

I was following along, not really disagreeing or agreeing much — until I reached where he wants to send text messages to Siri because he is too afraid to talk to Siri in public.
Yeah, that’s called typing in a Google search or using the apps on your phone with your fingers and eyeballs. It’s been around a long time.
That’s the thing – I’m a power user both at work and at home and I still haven’t run into anything that impedes my day to day uses. In fact it’s actually gotten faster as an OS even with new features added.
We just updated one of our editing suites from Snow leopard to Yosemite and my editor loves it! Saying it is much more responsive than it was – and that is with no hardware upgrades.
I understand your point – MY point is that, like the 50’s, not everyone looks back as fondly as others might. Important things are missing that, while they may not effect your day to day, definitely effect others.
My Wishlist for iOS 9.
You’ll notice that none of these are new features. I don’t want anything new. I want things to work.
As someone once said, zero new features please.
