I can't even participate in this survey because I use Mavericks, Snow Leopard, and ChromeOS. Apple's later OSes have too many lost features and unnecessary interface changes for the sake of appeasing an aesthete who doesn't understand usability.

The reason to go to more recent MacOS versions is for integration with iOS devices.

For me, that's just not compelling... Integration can backfire, too. This funny example of unintended consequences was posted at Macintouch yesterday:
"Today I was working on my iMac, editing a bit of text that I keep in the Notes app. Suddenly, with my hands off the keyboard, I watched in horror as the text began to disappear, line by line. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the cause. My cat was on the table next to my desk, poking at my iPhone with her paws."

Time machine can restore deleted files, even from the cloud, so long as you kept a copy on your Mac. I use TM for this very purpose for Dropbox too.
iOS integration can be very powerful.
