Anyone still on Sequoia ?

There are tons still there. My week-old M4 Mini, as do all M4's, came with it and yes the Settings notification is obviously nagging me. My MBP M4P running 26.2 seems fine though, zero issues.
I'm compelled to wait with the Mini to compare the two as Tahoe matures on my MacBook. Or not.

Of course. On all three Macs in the family.
Side-note 1: also on the older Safari with compact tabs.
Side-note 2: loved Aqua (peaked on Panther & Tiger), hate liquid glass. Also hate the extra rounded window corners, and the extra spaced out interfaces, possibly making way for useless touch input. Tahoe can go * itself (no offense to the actual lake or its neighboring communities - much love).

My 2019 MBP will be staying on Sequoia until next year I think! Also staying on iOS 18.7.2 (I missed getting 18.7.3 before it was pulled 🙁 )
I ran these scripts and it's stopped the nagging on macOS - https://github.com/travisvn/stop-tahoe-update
I really hope Apple sort out both iOS and macOS, this last release is just terrible.

I'm still on Sequoia. Will wait until I feel comfortable with upgrading, probably mid/late summer. This is normal for me, though, and not necessarily an indictment of Tahoe. I do this with nearly all new versions of MacOS.
sudo tee -a /etc/hosts <<EOF
127.0.0.1 swdist.apple.com
127.0.0.1 swscan.apple.com
127.0.0.1 swcdn.apple.com
127.0.0.1 xp.apple.com
127.0.0.1 gdmf.apple.com
127.0.0.1 mesu.apple.com
127.0.0.1 updates.cdn-apple.com
EOF
Will disable the update notifications for Tahoe by modifying the hosts file. Then download separate standalone install packages rather than use the Software Update function (see MrMacintosh website for updaters) and reapply as needed. Or delete the entries in hosts file, restart, run Software Update - ensuring Tahoe is not selected - then reapply host file change.

if there's no need, you just can't feel it.
I'm not sure if it's sequoia related, but this week I started getting 'unlock to use accessories' message flash up on locked screen, which never happened previously with the same ssd and headphones being always plugged in, and it's really pushing me towards OS vaseline soup - not!

I upgraded my Studio to Tahoe, no regrets, its a fine OS. No stability issues, no performance hiccups. The UI is fine, though there's some rough edges to be sure.
still on Sequoia purely because I can't afford downtime or new learning curves at the moment with work but eager to try it out next month
I have Sequoia on my iMac 27 2019 with 64 Gb RAM. I must admit that Sonoma felt somehow snappier on that machine.
I'll stick to Sequioa as long as I can. Tahoe is just awful. Ideally I'd skip it completely.
Same here with our M1s. I think that most people have zero issues.
I'm not sure it's visually better but I haven't encountered any serious bugs.
Then don't. Sequoia is a currently supported release and will be supported until 4Q2027 if Apple follows their usual release cadence.
Myself I *always* stay two releases back, so both my Mac are still running Sonoma.
I went to Sequoia on my M3 MBA just before they released 26. The same pattern will continue until the MBA can no longer receive updates. At that point I will get another refurb while it still runs the previous OS. Y'all can be unpaid beta testers if you want. Me, no.
Yes. M3 Pro, 36 GB RAM. Wondering with many others why Apple thought Tahoe was the most important thing they could do.
Here too. I always wait till around May to upgrade. I have too many audio plugins that break if I go too early.
I plan to keep using macOS Sequoia on my Mac mini M2 Pro and MacBook Air M4.
I really don't like the current design of macOS 26.
