I think he gave a good depiction of his experinece that prompted the switch. I personally understand and share the same frustrations.
FTA: Around OS X 10.9, though, things started going wrong. 10.10 improved a few of these things, but overall it just kept degrading. It’s slower, there are a lot of really distracting “features” I can’t seem to actually reliably disable: It’s tied into my phone, and my wife’s phone, so when she adds events I get duplicate notifications (deliver once being a fallacy, I suppose), disrupting me from my work. I disable this, but …
It harasses me every day to upgrade. It desperately wants to just upgrade whenever it wants. More and more it acts like the Windows machines I’ve had to support over the last 20 years, which is deeply frustrating.
It regularly does things in the background without asking, consuming all my bandwidth (again: most of my work is remote, so I’m particularly sensitive to latency.)
And yeah: I’ve disabled all these things. They keep getting re-enabled, and so it’s not hard to take the hint.
