10.x.0 - worst version?

10.9.0 was the first one I had to revert back to the previous OS I was using (10.8.5). So I guess that makes it the worst for me.

10.0.0 was the worst: slow, buggy, and nearly un-usable. Granted 10.7 gives it a run for its money, in slowness, and 10.2 in bugginess, but I think overall 10.0.0 was the worst.

While I reverted from Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on my machines, I never had to do so because of hourly kernel panics like OS X 10.9 Mavericks offered me, thus I sadly have to vote for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, but then again, I never experienced Mac OS X lower than 10.2.8 or so.

10.0 was the worst for me. Yeah others had some bugs and what not, but I tended to update after the 10.x.0 version.

10.0 was more of a beta release, it lacked features, performance and was buggy. Still all that said it was a new exciting OS and we all were eagerly waiting to see what replaced the classic Mac OS

Hard to choose between Mavericks and Lion, but at least Mavericks wasn't so half-baked in terms of features. Just glitchy and slow. So was Lion. Agh. Mountain Lion ran much, much faster than Lion and felt like it wasn't in beta.

I got my first Mac in 2004, and it ran Panther. Under Panther, my system was really fast despite weak hardware. 1GB of RAM for kernel_task was blasphemy.

How come you had to revert back to ML from Mavericks?

I know I'm not him, but I also reverted back. My system was just much slower under Mavericks and suffered from all the new glitches, all for nothing since it had about 2 new features that were slightly useful. The "improved memory management" was a lie. Plus, some things weren't updated for it. And why did they remove color labels???

Lion for me was by far the worst version of OS X. Slow, buggy, half-arsed attempt to bring iOS-features to OS X.

Mountain Lion was better, but was still slow. Mavericks has been rock solid for me, and the new memory management has given my Early-2011 MBP a new lease of life!

I think Lion was the worst OS.

I think Snow Leopard is still the best.

To me it is 10.9. I just don't care for it at this point, but it was solid enough with only a few minor issues. Went back to SL 10.6.8 because of it. I should add that I am not a SL evangelist though, I use Lion on my main machine. But I do love me some SL!

I went from OS9 to OS X 10.3, so in my experience 10.7 was the worst. The best versions were 10.6 and 10.8.

I've started with Leopard, so for me is 10.7 Lion the worst OS X version.

Better with every iteration

When I started with 10.0, I was torn apart: what was on the surface was extremely unfinished, but what laid underneath was that promising. I instantly fell in love with the domain structure.

It's gotten better ever since.
