So with all the negative vibe from Tahoe, I decided to never install it so I’m skipping over it completely and going with macOS 27 anybody else doing the same thing?
Got a tip for us?

I've done the same thing, it never ran well on my m1 iMac but this beta seems so smooth
Will do the same. Will skip IOS 26 too. And will never install iPadOS 26 on my 3rd Gen iPad Air.

Same. The UI was riddled with issues and they are finally fixing what has been obvious from the start. Pretty lame that they needed to wait for a new OS release to make these basic changes, like inconsistent window radii.

Tahoe was an unfinished product, like a beta to collect user feedback disguised as a stable release. Seeing those UI tweaks confirmed what we already knew for a long time, and I skipped it also.
It’s in really poor taste to end Intel’s run on an unfinished version of MacOS :/

Me too. Sequoia's been so(!) stable for me, and reports on Tahoe so bad, that it hasn't made sense to go there. I skipped Sonoma too. Tried it two times, and had serious issues. IME, Catalina, Big Sur, Ventura, and Sequoia has been the good ones. Let's cross our fingers for 'Golden Gate'.

I have one machine that can't go below Tahoe & will be updating it to the beta. Hard to imagine the beta bugs being worse than what we still have in 26 half a year in.
me, i had an m1 pro 32gb of ram when Tahoe was released, ran awful on that machine. I later got an m4 pro, kept it on Sequoia ever since. This time, I'm gonna wait

I never understood this. I ran Tahoe since the public betas, and had no trouble. Mind you, I have an M3 Pro, so it runs perfectly well, certainly much better than on my friend's 2019 i9 MacBook. I will probably jump to 27 when the public betas launch as well.
Go ahead. I think everybody is super happy with the quality and stability of these developer betas. No point in waiting, especially if you enjoy Siri as a feature. All the other little stuff is great as well. It's fantastic to finally get a stability update.

I don’t have the time to risk AutoCAD not working properly, so I’ll have to wait a bit, but I’m keen!

i had a great year with tahoe, since beta 1. golden gate is (so far) working beautifully (ok, it's 3 hours in so far), but seems promising.
hope (some) people will (finally) accept LG (& it's slider options), and rounded corners... and we can discuss the OS; how it works, how it works with our apps, and what needs to be fixed (that isn't a personal preference issue). hmmmm

Betas are betas for a reason. Plus, it's not one click solution to go back to stable release if beta doesn't work out for someone. I wouldn't advise people to jump into beta then come complaining some of the stuff they are using is broken and (rightfully) blame you for talking them into it

Note that I’ve slept on it, I’m not so keen. Tahoe works well, and looks tons better than Golden Gate. I think I’m going to stick with Tahoe for a while longer, and enjoy the small amount of time where Apple tried to bring life back to the interface.

I planned to skip Tahoe all along, so it's been great to see all the positive feedback for 27.

Never understood the hate towards Tahoe. I updated to the beta as soon as it came out last year.

For my personal laptop I had Tahoe on from the early developer betas. The usual sharp edges with early betas, of course, but have been enjoying Tahoe since.
Will probably install Golden Gate later tonight.

I also stayed on Sequoia because of the repulsive corner radius and generally bad reputation of Tahoe, especially with some people saying it runs "rough" on M1 generation (though I am sure it's exagerated). I've got a 13" M1 Air, a 16" M1 Pro and a 15" M4 Air. Planning to upgrade directly to Golden Gate. It will be my very first time skipping over a full OS version. For those of you with experience skipping over a version, can you share if that can create update issues? In that case would you recommend re-installing from scratch (I would hate to have to do that). As a stop gap I was also considering upgrading to Tahoe now that we are at the .5 release and upgrade quicker to Golden Gate. Any input would be very welcome.
Did they also tell you to sell all your investments because the crash is imminent?
Just install that bloody macOS 26.
It is a pretty 'good looking' macOS iteration.
For macOS 27.
I will wait and hunker down until macOS 27.3 or 27.4.
I am like Teflon and every negative comment regarding macOS 26 doesn't stick (you should follow suit).
