Is Mavericks still a bad idea?

[Ultra AleM]

Guys I heard from some people Mavericks is still not compatible with some apps. ADOBE CS6 seems not to work on Mavericks. What do you know about?

Is there anyways any difference from installing it clean and then importing from TM or just updating it from AS?

I can confirm that Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 work fine for me. I don't use them too heavily though, so your mileage may vary.

can also confirm that all of the adobe cs6 programs are running without major issues on mavericks (had a couple bugs with indesign but mighta just been my copy of it)

I have many problems with CS6 on Mavericks. Had no problems on Mountain Lion.

Many crashes, beachballs and a lot of waiting.. My advice, wait a month.

I have been using CS6 and Mavericks since launch without any problems at all.

.edit.

Maybe would be smart to ensure that you have a Time Machine backup on Mountain Lion before upgrading in case you do run into problems. Although it is still possible to install ML without it, it's much easier to just roll time machine back.

no problems here (CS6 photoshop, indesign, dreamweaver)... yet....

I'd clone your HD onto another using superduper or carbon copy cloner.

Then if you do have any compatibility problems, you can boot from the clone HD back into mountain lion.
