From one bad upgrade that cost me a bunch of productivity - believe it was Lion - as well as observing the struggles of colleagues, these days always wait 6 months at least before upgrading OSX

I basically only update when (a beta of) Xcode tells me it won't run on my current version. Usually that's the point when either all bugs have been fixed or they will not be fixed before the new version.

Yea, Xcode is so annoying with this. What magical features does it use under the hood to not allow basic functionality and iOS support that seems completely unrelated to the macOS version? I have zero incentive to update macOS except Xcode telling me it needs a new version that only runs on the new one.

Xcode still needs to compile for macOS of course. It's not just for iOS development. If you want to compile for the next version of macOS you need to be on the next version.
