That was my point, too. The "several months" phrase was taken by the article. I don't think it would ever happen. Apple wants to switch to iOS 7 entirely. Besides, that would be a nightmare for developers and would make apple look really bad.
Glad to hear it. They need the time, glad they're not going to rush it out earlier. 10.9 has the potential to finally be an update to really get excited about, they just need to work enough of the bugs out before release.
I suspect this will also allow them to have some of the GUI guys who have been on iOS7 switch over and clean up apps like notes, calendar, reminders, contacts, etc. And dare I say it, I'd be fine with them tweaking some of the app icons and making them a bit more like the iOS7 versions.
Wow, you sure are clueless about software development. Both 10.9 and iOS7 are coming right when Apple announced they would, no delays at all. Both of those need time in beta for developers to test and update their apps, there's ALWAYS a period of months between when betas are released to testers and final release.
The mac pro is a special case, getting the model updated at all has taken an incredibly long time. But the announcement happened exactly because it had been so long, and it's still going to come by the end of the year. They couldn't release it any sooner just because intel hadn't released any of the next generation chips yet. Those chips still aren't out. It looks like they will probably be announced next week, maybe immediate release, maybe not.

I wouldn't bet on it, no. Logically, it doesn't make sense that Apple would announce new Mac hardware ahead of Mavericks. But this is Apple, so anything could happen just like a roulette ball landing on green is possible too.
Look up "vaporware" and "delays" -- none of the things you have mentioned qualify by any stretch.
The best OS in the world. Everybody talks iOS or Android, but if you like computers and not just some nice toy, then OS X is the best OS. Using OS X more than iOS is refreshing for me, since I sold my iPad. Everything just really works and Mavericks is a great upgrade.
That's because on the east coast, that's when kids go back to school. So the whole environment changed to the "fall" kinda atmosphere with everyone at work and school again.
No delays at all - what are you talking about? Everything that is coming is coming exactly at the time Apple said it would and in concert with the rumors we've been hearing for months:
- new iPhones / IOS7 on 10 September
- new Mac hardware (and iPads?) / OS X 10.9 "this fall" - now expected late October; i.s., early in the fall, and entirely consistent with the last two release cycles
- new Mac Pro - late 2013
all exactly as stated and predicted.
I wouldn't bet on any significant UI changes between now and release. If Apple plan to bring Mavericks more in line with the looks of iOS 7, then this is something that they can dedicate to next years release.
One can understand this better by the fact that Game Centre has been left untouched, while the likes of Notes have had a pretty straightforward graphics swap. Afterall, how do you de-Forstallise something like Game Centre whilst providing a suitable stop-gap until OS 10.10? The chances are that the designers focused on the apps that are used more commonly.

Mavericks? Mavericks...?
What next?
Pinto? (exploding care)
Mustang?
Horses??? They're prey animals. Bleh.
What a let down after the big cats.
Apple should have gone with Dire Wolf, Timber Wolf, Red Wolf, Arctic Wolf...

By 'most people' you mean 'me'?
I'm not suggesting 'many' don't... but I suspect as least as many still see it as summer.
