Could we have with OSX a... gasp... stable platform that is just really good at doing desktop type work?

IOS would have to evolve a lot and in many ways to take over desktop. Maybe it will. Android N seems to be moving there so maybe that's the future.

You mean a second Snow Leopard that just fixes bugs and adds overall polish? Yes please!

El Capitan was that for me.... Mavericks and Yosemite were all kinds of buggy, to the point where I was rebooting once a week due to hard-to-pin-down slowdowns, but at the last time I rebooted El Capitan due to an OS update, I had 40 days of uptime.

Isn't that pretty much all of the recent OS X releases? What major features did El Capitan add? Yosemite? Mavericks?

I can't think of a single major thing.

At one point they finally got multi monitor support working properly, but I forget when.

Mavericks finally brought support for OpenGL 4.1. But granted, that's not something most users will notice.

Also it removed some skeuomorphism, which depending on whether you like it or not counts as a major feature ;-)

snow leopard had big performance improvements compared to its predecessor, I am not sure the latest releases had that.
