I knew Win 8 sucked so I didn't upgrade - and I informed myself on the equipment compatible with Win 7 before buying new PCs.
I know Win10 sucks hard so I won't upgrade to it - again I'll keep my Win7 until the hardware will be supported. If a version of VS needs Win10 I won't buy it - I don't code at home, and at work the responsibility for my platform isn't mine, nor the management of my time.
Until the next one... after all I used WinXP at home up until 2012 and at work until 2016, with negligible problems on either software or games. So... if it sucks it remains there on the shelf.

Reviews, experience from my peers, system requirements, complains, look&feel.
I never ever jump on the upgrades and take my time seeing all the various problems that arise. Games that I play eagerly that don't work on 8 and 8.1, bugs on new games... I speak only for my home PC, at work I don't care the OS they give me. If it hampers my productivity it is not my problem.

Aren't we all guilty of that.

I only have one machine. Losing days to backup, try, fix, try, fix, fraking up, restoring just to try something new? Not a chance in hell, nor in heaven for that sake.

Just run yourself a Docker instance and try it out, or run up a VM.

Too much hassle for too little gain. When not trying it out or upgrading to it will be more troublesome than changing I'll do it.

I used to have only one computer, back then I either had dual-boot configured or I swapped main HDD to try other things.
Now I have the chance to have many computers at home. So when something new comes around I upgrade the least useful machine and try it out there.
Windows 10 tryout was so good now that all but one of my machine have Windows 10 (the one left with Windows 7 is connected to my TV and runs Media Center).
At work I'm on Windows 7 and every single day I miss Windows 8.1/10 features like taskbar that extends to multiple monitors and app icons only on the monitor they are on. Windows 10 brought an amazing scrolling feature which have been in X-Windows since forever: scroll inactive window just by hovering your mouse over that window.
I wouldn't go back to pre 8.1 versions of Windows.

My experience with each one upgrade I ever made is worse than hellish, each freaking time.
Update video drivers: black screen, even during clean reinstallation of Windows (somehow the id-10t loaded the resident drivers instead of the CD ones). Upgrade windows: hardware not functional and loss of data partition. Upgrade of Linux: oops, kernel panic!
Install updates on work computer: got out of domain, VC++6 crashing during compile and VB6 crashing at startup.
Updated Android on phone: 4 crashes/reboots per day, lost calls, battery life halved.
I do not upgrade/update, period. Until upgrading/updating is unavoidable I do not do it, ever. Mind that most the times every other person I knew had done the same upgrades without any problem, and that I followed the instructions clearly and took extra precautions.

Actually, upgrades to operating systems don't have to be the pain that you assume they are.
Since you are running Windows 7, I would get virtualization software (I use VMWare Workstation), and create a virtual Windows 8 machine. And then you'll realize immediately why Microsoft went to 8.1 almost immediately. And then you can try Windows 10.
I like 8.1, and dislike Windows 10 after running it on a virtual machine for 4 months. Therefore, I shutdown 10, and never use it except once in awhile to pick up the updates.
Virtual is the way to go - you can get comfortable with a new operating system, without mucking around with your main OS, and if you like the update, you can do one of two things - install the new OS on over your main OS, or continue using your main OS just to bring up a virtual machine of your new OS.

Trying to find the joke in there. A FIFY maybe will do it:

I'm not convinced that there is a difference... I urgently needed to use my Win10 PC this morning before rushing out the door to the office. I boot up to find that Win10 finally decided to update to the anniversary edition (which I didn't actually want, but it's not like we're given a choice any more). 20 minutes later, Windows finally booted. I received two notifications:
1. Updates were installed (Really? Hadn't noticed...)
2. Do you need help fixing your sound? (Huh? Oh, yay. You broke my sound in the update. Thankfully all it had done was switch the output source.)

I'm letting others raise the head over the trench for me. If their blood and brains stain my coat I take it as a good indicator that it's not a good idea.
Learning form other people experiences is the key to evolution, don't you think? Wrestling a completely logical statement to insult is instead the key to wu mao.

In the case of trying a different OS, it's hardly satisfying an evolutionary imperative. And you have seen more than enough anecdotes on here from people that they have had no negative experiences that there's at least a decent chance that you would be okay.

I'm hearing much more complains about screwed up updates so I'll wait until the updates will be sporadic. I let the others go first then claim victory when I enter the fray an hour later. I did it for XP and 7 and found myself very comfortable indeed.

I ignored other people's opinions over Vista, and ended up having to do a lot of work to make Vista behave (which was worth it, because, properly configured, Vista was a lot better than XP).
I ignored other people's opinions over w8, and ended up having to do way more work than I'd had to do with Vista (which was Not worth it, because it was still less usable than weven).
None of that extra work should have been necessary. The operating system has one job: to allow access to hardware and programs. All the extra "add-ons" cause about half the problems, and the inability of the OS to do its one job well cause the rest.
I didn't ignore people's opinions over winio, but still ended up with a winio tablet ... and it turns out that the other people were right again. I love having a tablet that can run windows-based programs, but I absolutely detest the way the operating system treats the machine -- and by proxy, me.
The thing is, it's not MS haters complaining about Vista, w8, and winio, it's people like me, who have been ardent MS supporters for years. The @rseholes and the linux evangelists who just want to bitch aren't worth listening to, but those people are.

That's what I've heard too. Most folks, especially the anti-Windows folks tell the same story.
I know there are imperfections and I haven't upgraded to Win 10 yet because of it, or because of what I've heard from others. I'm just too busy to do the update. 
Today, I'm about to update it to Win 10 because I need to test out the docker support for .net core. So fingers cross.
