OS X to me keeps getting progressively worst every release.

Mac Mail is now unusable with large inboxes, spotlight is slow, the finder is still stupid (explorer is better then finder at this point). New power management in the near macbook airs is the worst.

Not only mail, but the native cal app has become unbearable, too! Used to be one of my favorite applications until about snow leopard.

I'm still on snow leopard because I didn't like the idea of spaces going from two dimensions to one. Nothing I've read since has told me it's a must-have upgrade.

The biggest thing I'm happy about is the old version of itunes. I can see podcasts in a grid and group them by album rating.

Yeah, I am really annoyed with 1D versus 2D. However, if you're using a laptop, battery life from Mavericks alone makes it a killer upgrade.
