I'm back after a long absence.
The last time I visited here I was running OS X beta or 10.0. Either way, I was not ready to commit to OS X at that time due to a lack of vital software that ran natively (mostly Adobe apps). What's the point of running OS X if most of the apps you use run in the Classic environment?
Now that I've upgraded to 10.1.5 and my most widely used apps are now available in Cocoa/Carbon, I've been running OS X almost exclusively ever since. The only Classic apps I still use on occasion are Voyager II (planetarium software), OrbiTrack (satellite tracking software) and Reunion (genealogy software).
I rarely boot up in OS 9 now, and I hardly miss it. There are things OS 9 does that OS X doesn't yet (spring loaded folders, for example) but from what I've read and heard Apple is working on returning such Classic features with each update.
OS X is improving and I like what I see.
