For example, there is a school of thought (to which I subscribe) that maintains that Snow Leopard was perhaps the most recent of these gems. (I stayed with my trusty Apple IIe - nostalgic sigh! - in the interim.) Those with a similar history will be aware that most of the operating systems have been fairly reasonable (but not necessarily wonderful), the odd one has been a real worry, but every so often there is one that seems particularly stable and just allows you to get on with the job. I can’t say I’ve used Macs since The Crack of Dawn, but it probably wasn’t too long after the echo came back. I have seen too many reports of problems with El Capitan and Sierra to give me any confidence in them. I use Yosemite and have no intention of “upgrading” any time soon. They release some of the finest books in Italy. How do you deal with the future? VirtualBox with a Yosemite virtual machine? Being quiet, and use what you have? One of the publishers I sometimes work with still uses old Macs and outdated Quark XPress versions. Then, Sierra is not yet compatible with a small, powerful, fundamental utility without which I wouldn't be able to use my external keyboard. There is other software that I could't trust to in Sierra. Some of the final customers are even printing the (>1000 pages) PDF we give them! But this is not yet possible, since it is not yet fully understood by my clients. And I would love to give up with the book format definetely, and work with markup and fluid text. Switching to Creative Cloud is not an option for various reasons (and then, it is not yet fully compatible with Sierra). Brief: I'm forced to use Adobe Creative Suite CS6, because I'm still asked to make technical documentation as books. I know that one will probably be the last Nisus version I will be able to use for years.īut I wonder if I'm the only one in this situation. I know it will sooner or later stop supporting older OS versions. My hope is that Nisus Writer will support Yosemite at least for some macOS versions, yet. In the meantime, some software I use for my personal activities, or side projects, no longer supports Yosemite. There is software I use for my main job, that will not work under El Capitan and work very bad under Sierra. I don't know how many of us are stuck in Yosemite (nearly) forever.
