What is the newest version of OS X that works well with Aperture?

Do you know of a place where those issues are compiled so one can what the tradeoffs are for each system?

I really like Aperture, and curse Apple for dumping it. I've not seen any other program that fits my needs as well, or where it won't be a major effort to transfer my library. I know I've got to do it, but I keep hoping an "better way" will show up before I'm forced to make the move, so am trying to delay as long as is practical.

I'd be happy with a lot more than 3 years. 🙂

Basically, I don't really WANT to have to put in the time and effort to research which alternate application works best (for now), guess at which will last "forever" so I don't have to plan on moving yet again, and spend what I'm sure will be many hours transferring the files and getting up to speed with the new application. I'd rather spend that time and effort working with the roughly 61,000 images themselves.

Of course, I understand that what I'd prefer doesn't really matter in this case. The transfer will have to be made. I will be much more cautious about using all the bells and whistles of whatever app I choose in case it is something those bells and whistles are things that won't transfer over to a new platform. Gonna be lots of time wasted by moving from Aperture. For instance, time I've spent putting names to "Faces", something that has proven very helpful in Aperture with the multitude of family pictures, both historical and present, and which as far as I can tell doesn't transfer to any other application.

So, I'm going. But slowly and reluctantly.
