Yeah, in my experience Mountain Lion had a huge range of negative experiences in exchange for very few positive ones. I´m sad to say that wacom recently responded to my post about the multiple bugs you get in photoshop, and they weren´t able to reproduce any of them!!! (go figure) I doubt they´ve tried very hard, because I think it isn´t a rare problem but something consistent to everyone using wacom/Photoshop CC/Mavericks. So, just working in Photoshop for an hour on a drawing, you will notice: -Polygonal Lasso tool breaks, Keyboard shortcuts not responding, white menus appear. You have to reset photoshop about every 10-20 mins...Is there anyone out there reading this forum that uses Photoshop CC with a wacom and Mavericks that don´t have any of these problems? (please let us know, I´m curious) Apart from that, Mavericks were suppose to boost your machine performance. But in my experience, the whole machine performed worse. Especially Adobe programs. Suddenly 32 gb of ram (which I have) seemed too little. Quick Look in mavericks suddenly didnt support a fraction of the codeks it supported before. So I reverted back to Mountain Lion after a couple of weeks. It felt like getting a new machine again. My machine run faster/smoother, games runs better. No more white menus in photoshop, no more auto completion on the polygonal lasso tool and keyboard works again with photoshop. What pisses me off about all of this, is that Wacom seems to just not care very much about these problems. Adobe hardly cares at all. They hardly seem to respond to these threads anymore. And, there hasn´t been any updates to photoshop CC in a long time. At least in After effects, there are frequent updates trying to address the bugs everyone are complaining about in the forums. But the Photoshop team doesn´t care it seems. These bugs should be top priority(!), above new features, and they should try to fix them ASAP! But instead I get the feeling we won´t see any fixes for any of these bugs ever, because Adobe and Wacom seem to think it isnt a common problem. I´ve sent bug reports twice to Adobe, without a single reply except "maybe apple will make a fix in the OS later" and nothing about them looking into it. And Wacom seem to think its nothing wrong with their driver. Now, the latest Final Cut is out, and you can´t update the software any more without upgrading to Mavericks. And the same goes for iWorks. So, it´s clear that Apple is abandoning earlier OS´s. I don´t want to be stuck on Mountain Lion forever - even though at this moment its the only sensible solution.
