If you know of a shorter, more useful review, or are willing to tl;dr this for non-fanboys, please share.

"willing to tl;dr this for non-fanboys"

Herp, derp. Siracusa has been somewhere between critical and brutal toward the Finder (desktop slash file browser) since Mac OS X was born. He is also very well-known for being meticulous. Your comment reflects poorly on you.

My implication was that sitting through and reading all 24 pages of this review did not seem like a reasonable use of time for a non-fanboy.

Taking casual cheap shots at strangers from behind a meaningless alias reflects on you as well.

tl;dr: It's great. Not much has changed in a major way, but there are improvements all around. The performance and battery life of the OS is much improved. It's free - and you should upgrade.

Seems to sum up Apple as a whole for these past couple of years, and probably for the foreseeable future as well.

Yeah I'm stuck on os 10.6 because really nothing entices me in the next versions.

I really wonder sometimes if Apple is not slowly dropping OS X in favor of iOS.

The whole point of these reviews is to dig into the minor features, and to explain the technical side of the marketing buzzwords.

tl;dr Mavericks isn't the name of a cat.

This article would more appropriately be called a "rambling" than a "review"

off topic: I would be more entertained by the name Sea Lion. Although Mavericks is a cool name too :-)

Maverick's is dangerous.

The line between "rambling" and "detailed" is just how interesting you find the subject. If you're not interested in reading a 24 page review, you should probably not read a 24 page review.

I think you read only the first page? There are several, look at the bottom of the first one.

I'm biased because I wrote it myself, but our Mac.AppStorm review is 1/3rd the length and mostly focuses on what's new in the OS: http://mac.appstorm.net/reviews/os-x-reviews/everything-you-...

Thank you for actually answering my question.

Hope the article was helpful!

In years past there have been reviews of this review, would that count?
