Same here - I am using some apps that are not compatible with Catalina, so will have to stick with Mojave. I am not a gamer, so not sure I'll be missing much.
Got a tip for us?

Sort thread by most liked would have meant I did not have to read a dozen messages of folks interpreting what a superscript numeral means in written English. I sure hope “sort by most liked” returns to this forum soon
That seems waaaay too early. I had envisioned like the last week of october, with a release date announcement being made at a mac event.
I think that Apple will hold a special meeting, to highlight Catalina, new Macs.
There should be no business environment bold enough to even think about testing Catalina. Me as a home user and casual user don‘t even want to upgrade to Mojave because of weird huge performance drop after upgrading. Instead, I am testing Catalina on a separate SSD.
Expect pain. I switched to Lightroom over four years ago, I’m still not used to it.
Setup a Virtual Machine with a older macOS version for Aperture, this should do it for ever.
Skipping the upgrade for the first time in 18 years.
Losing 32 bit apps like indesign CS6 is just too much.
Unless someone can suggest a parallels VM solution?

Stay away from Parallels. Super expensive, horrible support.
I had it for 1 year and I stopped subscription.
I moved to VMWare, not the best but works fine. I am also thinking on holding back however this is not Apple's fault.
Lazy developers don't update their SW for 64 bits since many many years. I agree with Apple that 64 bit should have been a standard long ago and they have sent many warnings to users and devs as well that their apps will no longer be supported.
In the same time, it does impact me quite a bit but I have 2 machines so one will be around until I find SW companies that make 64 bit code and do what I need.
To be honest, I cannot blame developers either. The world of consumers goes mobile fully (phones and tablets) and the laptop market is not the biggest cash cow, so no wonder their efforts go that direction.
So I suppose businesses are more inclined to invest in places where they can make more profits.
Maybe it's just me, but I start to see a clearer delimitation between uses of OS-es like it was in the past:
Linux - SW Development for VMs, Real-Time embedded systems, servers and security appliances
Windows - Gaming and some level of content creation
Mac OS X - Content Creation only (music, videos and photography)
iOS, iPad OS, Android - consumer social media, gaming, consumer content creation
This is maybe why Mac OS X is now lagging behind in release dates and does not care anymore for legacy 32 bit SW, it's simply not worth the effort.
4. Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ require a subscription. Apple Arcade is now available on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV and will be available on Mac later this year.
The 4 is to indicate a footnote, I would say there was a translation error on the Danish site is all.

Sounds very much like a "you're holding it wrong" excuse to me.
Microsoft would be crucified over something like this in say, Outlook 2019, so Apple should be held to the same standards.
Not sure how you see that as the 4 is on all sites worldwide. I'm in the UK too and looking at the USA or UK sites show a 4 for me.
