Mathematica 10 was the first version that properly supported Mac Retina displays. That made it worth it to me, all by itself. I've browsed some of the other new stuff, but don't really know much about how it differs from older versions. On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 6:14 PM, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
This question may be premature, but I'm curious what people's reactions are to Mathematica 10.
I actually stuck with Mathematica 8 even after Mathematica 9 came out, so if version 10 is to version 9 as version 9 was to version 8, I'll probably just ignore the release of version 10 and stick to version 8 until Wolfram pries it from my cold dead hands, or until version 8 falls to pieces.
Or does version 10 have so many nifty features (or boring-but-important bug-fixes) that a serious computer-assisted math researcher simply has to have it, even if the interface is annoying?
(Come to think of it, is there a way to run the version 9 or version 10 kernel using the version 8 front end?)
