They need to fix Mac OS first. It’s one of the worst OS I have ever used - apps keep crashing, random UI/UX glitches and bad decisions overall.

I’ll probably ditch Mac if this degradation continues.

Are you primary using electron-based apps, or true native macOS apps?

Maybe I’m lucky but I run macOS daily without any problems.

(Yes, there’s annoying fit/finish issues in the UI - but no issues with stability)

There’s an in-between abomination — Catalyst based apps from/by Apple (quickly migrated from iOS to macOS). Reminders, Notes and others are downright unnavigable and unusable with a keyboard and are so, so terrible in their UX. It’s a shame that Apple hasn’t spent any effort in fixing those and making them true native macOS apps.

For the last several years, there has been nobody at Apple who has good taste and a deep and committed interest in UX.

I don't think so. There might be some, but definitely not a majority.

My biggest complaint is with Firefox - it works fine on my older Mac, but crashes on Tahao and only works after a system restart.

Same here. While Liquid Glass might be a bit distracting, I don't remember the last time I had an app crash. It's been quite a while.

26.1 fixed a lot of the buggy/laggy feeling too.

Same here (except when switching branch in a repo with Xcode open…)

Yes. The impossible to disable system services (photoanalysisd and friends) are an abomination of software design.

Try "killall -STOP photoanalysisd", this will pause the process instead of killing it (which would result in restarting it by launchd). You can unpause it by using "-CONT".

I use MacOS daily on different machines and don't have that experience. I also manage many Mac's and I don't hear people reporting this kind of instability to me.

The article says this will apply to macOS as well.
