Hey Swordmaker,
I've read that if you have an SSD (solid-state drive) in your Mac, and you upgrade to High Sierra, it AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTS the filesystem to APFS, whether you want it to or not. You cannot avoid getting this new, incompatible filesystem shoved onto your SSD.
I find that a show-stopper for my existing systems, because they can't use disks formatted with APFS.
Yeah, sure, I have backups, I can revert. But I also value filesystem compatibility with other systems. Including interoperability (e.g. moving disks from one system to another).
I view FORCED FORMAT CONVERSION -- regardless of how much more wonderful APFS is -- as an over-reach.
Apple has gone too far, IMO, with this. I have legacy systems that have to be compatible with my newer systems.
Looks like Sierra will be the end of the line for me, at least for the foreseeable future.
Feel free to correct me if I've got wrong info. I'd love to be wrong on this one -- i.e. that the conversion of SSD format when you upgrade to High Sierra is OPTIONAL. Yes? No?
