Correction. The 7 year cycle applies to the hardware. The OS is
about 3 years.

The operating system has a life of 7 years which means the OS
continues to receive updates which includes security updates.
If Tahoe offers new features not of interest to you, Sequoia will
be good for 4-5 more years.

So I am finally deciding to take a plunge into Tahoe which might be a
big risk for me.
But I guess some day or the other I have to and I have a reduced work
load in coming days, so it’s the right time.
Now, I have herd enough of the issues which people have been facing
and some have even totally denied of having those experiences.
When I shifted to Mac, consistency on a certain experience in terms
of excelent accessibility or even bugs (if it’s a bug then everyone
must have it ) was my major assumption because OS is centrally and
strictly controlled.
But that is not at all the case.
So considering there are enough bugs or even a few partial
regressions which were not there in Sequoia, I now want to ask the
other way round.
Do I really get benefit of upgrading to Tahoe?
I am aware that security updates to Sequoia will come at least for a
year and there may be some minor performance enhancements although no
new features . So with the theory of “if it aint broke then don’t
fix it”, I need not upgrade to Tahoe.
But my question is will I really gain in some major way? Are there
bugs for example which were present in Sequoia and have been fixed in
the real sense?
Apart from the multi copy and paste feature, Do I get anything more
worth considering?
Speed and performance is what I have been constantly told about but
apart from that is there any better experience worth taking the plunge?
Regards.
