However, many are distressed by it because it sends a troubling message to small businesses that have long relied on OS X Server and now macOS Server. Consultants and IT admins who recommended, installed, and maintained those macOS Server setups are concerned about having to research, install, and keep up with the wide variety of apps necessary to replace all the capabilities that macOS Server provided in a single coherent package. And of course, even if the alternatives are better technically, moving to them will require non-trivial investments of time and money.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Update (2018-02-06): <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stroughtonsmith\/status\/960719885583179776\">Steve Troughton-Smith<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stroughtonsmith\/status\/960719885583179776\">\n<p>Longer-term High Sierra (10.13.3) check-in: all my major issues are resolved; the OS really needed the extra few months of dev time.
