I am really sorry but I cannot let this stand. It is too close to FUD. As a general rule, newer *is* better. Features get added, bugs get fixed. Now, whether to upgrade or not is a personal choice, people may have different circumstances or constraints. But some systems _do_ make it both simple and convenient, and I have worked on (and contributed to) such systems for longer than a quarter century. And I for one am enjoying Emacs 28, now with an easily-installed .deb from Debian (thanks to Sébastien; I am running the Debian .deb without any hiccups on Ubuntu) also with current(ish) ESS, and it fabulous. In good part thanks to improved backend support (lsp server comes to mind, but also rendering). Yay for progress. Yay for volunteers taking care of these upgrades.
