My next Mac might be the last

I feel like I’ve got conflicting desires here. On one hand, I just want everything to work, and everything to stay the same, just like what you describe. On the other hand, there are a dozen or two dozen packages which I want always up to date. Most of them are development tools. Any distro which is good at one is bad at the other.

I'd expect that the most stable distro could run the latest versions of those tools too. Do the tools depend on the latest desktop environment or something?

The stable distro can run those tools, but how do I keep them up to date? I could mix a stable Debian base with specific tools from unstable, but my experience is that this sometimes results in problems.
