If there are any, what are the advantages of sticking with OS X Mountain Lion instead of upgrading to OS X Mavericks, in your opinion?

A proper funtioning mail.app

If I had the choice I would love to degrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard - Mavericks needs a lot of help in becoming stable...

I downgraded to Snow Leopard last night and finished setting it up to my liking earlier today. The speed increase alone was worth it.

How do you downgrade?

Move all pertinent files, photos, videos, music, etcetera to a different computer, external drive or cloud service. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, reboot your Mac, erase the hard drive, and then install Snow Leopard.
