Anyone delaying Sonoma until January? This would allow Apple & 3rd party devs to stamp out any further bugs.

Tried it out on my 10700K hackintosh and it runs very smooth - not bad for a .0 release. Usually i have to wait until .4 and recently .6.

Too bad about the broadcom wifi issue though.

Sonoma did seem to break some FCPX plugins but other than that I haven't seen any significant bugs. Most stable new release I can remember. Fixes some, but not all, file problems in Ventura. If your apps support Sonoma see no reason why you shouldn't update.

The hidden private web browsing feature is very underrated, but that is a Safari aspect.
Sonoma is great and was an easy upgrade, but I might be returning to Monterey
because the experience is better on the MBA m1.

Do you mean this?

In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > New Private Window, or switch to a private browsing window that's already open. A private browsing window has a dark Smart Search field with white text. Browse as you normally would.

perhaps, and this:

Enhanced Private Browsing​

Private Browsing now locks your private browsing windows when you’re not using them,4 completely blocks known trackers from loading on pages, and removes identifying tracking added to URLs as you browse.
 
I used to wait to update until the next version was announced (for example, I would have updated to Ventura when Sonoma was announced), but now that I don't do any critical work on my Mac I'll wait a month or two to see what issues others are having, see if any relate to my work flow/software, then update.
 
Sonoma is much less buggy and significantly smoother and snappier for me than Ventura

Broadcom wifi running great with the root patches, all the continuity features working perfectly
