It is a bliss

Since I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it is running faster. Stability wise, it was already stable with Leopard. But now see much faster bootup and shut down. MacOSX is a bliss, no crashing, no viruses, compared to "other" OS :). I'm impressed with Mac machines and MacOSs since I swithced from Windows XP to MacOS three years ago amazing performance amazing graphics and amazing security even without 3rd party security software...Thanks Apple

The issue is to either dump Snow Leopard and return to Leopard or try another clean install. This has been the worst OS I ever had to deal with from Apple in 25 years on Macs. Overall I can't see a single performance increase. No decrease, simply a waste of time updating. Seldom a day goes by that I don't have to mess with something or another.
Some PPC apps don't run under Rosetta, simply crash.
Toast 7.1.3 crashes constantly.
iDVD crashes constantly but at times get's the job done.
Taskbar loses icons.
Schedule in Energy Saver does not allow a change to am/pm box. Its stuck on PM.
Mail does not seem to like Yahoo's servers or does not work with the Keychain. This started recently in Leopard and is also an issue in SL.
Bluetooth disappears. Even the icon in SysPrefs was gone.
Magic Mouse does not hold settings.
Finder slowed down to a crawl.
GraphicConverter browser opens sloooooooooooow. Tried a beta but it crashed (ok, a beta).
Printers and scanners are a mess. Drivers supposedly SL compatible crash (Epson, what would one expect), Apple's screens are a mess with conflicting printer info on various screens. Getting the scanner to work requires going into SysPrefs and using the panel there. GraphicConverter, Photoshop and Image Capture don't see the scanner. Image Capture will after I go to SysPrefs and initiate a scan there.
Finder in columns mode won't move with the mouse if trying to move a file to a column that's not visible. Back to 2 Finder windows.
External disks are always being used by some app or another an can't be ejected.
iPods no longer sync.
Stupid Time Machine nags every time a hard drive is mounted.
Just as slow waking up on a 2.8 GHz iMac. However, the spinning ball is gone.
There have been more issues I forgot about. All but three of the above were corrected by either using Terminal or pitching plists. Did a clean install (about my 50th). Crashing apps and disks being unable to eject are still with me. Extended Hardware Test and DiskWarrior say all's ok, repair Permission daily.
I've now offloaded work to an old G4 PB running Tiger to get things done.
