I’m still on High Sierra, most recent 10.13.6 security update was ~3 days ago.

I’ll upgrade when some piece of software I need to use requires it.

As an Apple user for decades, have to say that High Sierra seemed to be one of their better recent releases.

I have an iMac that uses it and a Mac Mini that is on Mojave and for some reason, High Sierra just feels more stable with some software.

Firefox runs fine on High Sierra and has crashed multiple times in the past few weeks after using it on Mojave.

Maybe I'm just biased having used High Sierra for so long and dreading Catalina lol.

I went to Mojave and that went without trouble except I lost the ability to use my external GPU, but I knew that.

Mojave removed Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and Flickr, integrations, none of which I use, so that would be good.

But I’m not aware of any new feature in Mojave I want or need, so the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina I’m using will stay on High Sierra for today :)

FWIW, they added the ability for these companies to control their own integrations by publishing iOS and Mac apps.

It's just that so far, only Twitter has bothered to do so on Mac. Even software like Slack which does so for iOS just hasn't bothered to port that code to their Mac app - most likely because of the Mac app using a different Electron-based codebase.
