Yet if I'm not mistaken it hasn't reached end-of-life yet, hence, being LTS, crippling bugs like this should still be fixed.

But anyway, the main reason I haven't upgraded yet, is because of this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1164016

which renders Nautilus unusable. (don't get misguided by the status "fix released". It regressed again after the fix was released).

If you want users to upgrade often, try to avoid breaking critical stuff. (and also, make the upgrade process smooth so that it doesn't result in a bricked machine every single time - because again, if one is supposed to reformat and reinstall from scratch every time, you can't expect people to upgrade often)

Rather than upgrading, I think I'll move to another distro.
