[QUOTE="rivalschools, post: 15321, member: 680"] Graphic design (routinely Photoshop files measured in tens of gigs), editing commercials and brand films, recording music, using expensive pieces of external/internal A/V hardware that don't play nice with Lion, etc. You know, just browsin' Facebook at the coffee shop. ;) Also, things like Versions (a nightmare in very specific organization/naming schemes), hit/miss multi display support, previously easily accessible files/libraries hidden, and generally poorer performance on the same hardware = why is the latest and greatest just adding more annoyance to my workflow? Even Adobe admits that CS5.5 was not coded with Lion in mind, and that users will experience more issues. Assuming this has all been resolved with CS6 coming out in the last couple months, but again, despite the fact that we're knee deep in using these things every day, "NEW NEW NEW" is not necessarily a good thing. My 2010 MP still runs like a beast (and whatever incremental updates were made to this go-round of recent upgrades drops right in). It does everything I need it to do, software-wise. Other than working with extremely large Illustrator files, I have ZERO stability issues. Friends of mine on Lion are griping daily about how much better Snow Leopard is/was in terms of stability and raw performance, what incentive do I have to upgrade? From the looks of the ML preview, a few superflous features like Twitter integration, and iOS-like apps that I'll open once, say "wow neat," and probably never use again. ANYWAYS, this isn't Farsight's deal, it's Apple's. I'm not exactly their target consumer locked into a 1-2 year hardware/OS upgrade cycle, so until this machine needs replacement several years down the road, I gotta deal with it. About half of Apple's install base is still on Snow Leopard, so just using this forum as a message to the developers and any others considering hopping in, that completely locking yourself into the App Store, while great for visibility, might not be the way to go just yet for desktop/laptop apps.
