While they may be good to go, I still like waiting a week to upgrade apple products. They do occasionally break things important to my workflow. The last one for me was VirtualBox support along with the Xcode commandline tools. While workarounds and patches appear fairly quickly, it is prudent not to put myself out of action, potentially for days or weeks, if I can avoid it.


If you're concerned about application compatibility, you can check out RoaringApps. They have a new table for Mavericks compatibility.

It's always a good idea to create a smaller partition and install the new OS. Make sure that everything is working, then upgrade the main partition.


Or just wait for someone else to try it. I'm not sure what anyone ever loses by waiting a week or so.
