A disturbing trend:

I'm a long time *very* satisfied Apple product user. In recent years
however I've learned to wait 6-9 months before doing a major OS upgrade
(iMac, MacBookPro, iPhone, AppleTV). Apple needs to get its software act
together, soon.

Correctness (e.g., no or minimal crashes) trumps fancy features almost
every time.

I don't use MS products except when I have to such as at work. But there
we have a large IT department to solve our problems.

At home for me and my wife I *am* the IT department. Minimum hassle with
Apple products until perhaps the last 2-3 years.

I didn't follow the link. Does it have something to do with the Forth?
