Hey all, I've been persuaded to challenge my fears and try Yosemite on my iMac 2011 again, especially for the oh-so-useful SMS proxy feature. Not only is running it from an external Thunderbolt SSD not a very reasonable measure of performance, but people here and on AppleVis have said that the responsiveness of VoiceOver is acceptable, if noticeable. So I'm going to try again. Going back to Mavericks isn't an option. It pees me off that this iMac is not supported for next-generation AirDrop or handoff, and Mountain Lion is rock solid, but Safari is starting to become flaky, exhibiting issues caused by Apple upgrading it to support the newer version of VoiceOver. So this is my very last chance to save OS X as I knew it.
But there are two killer areas: Mail and iBooks. Mail is what it is, much as I dislike it; I'll use Thunderbird on Windows when I'm handling high-traffic lists, or need the plain text of an email. iBooks really stinks, and I want rid of it, no matter what. Has anyone here followed instructions to get rid of iBooks and go back to iTunes for books/PDF management? There are several guides; all involve getting rid of the BookStoreAgent process and binary. Has anyone followed such guides and successfully returned to iTunes? And if you did or didn't, why did you, or didn't you? Your input appreciated.
