This is way better for e.g. my mother's use case. It's horrible for power users. I would be fine with this if Apple introduced some kind of "power user shell". I kind of do this already (on Win, Mac, and Linux) by almost exclusively using a terminal window and browser.
edit: "macOS" is absolutely brilliant though. They should go for the throwback hipster vibe.

I would be fine with this if Apple introduced some kind of "power user shell" That sounds like it could work in theory, but I dunno if I'd actually want that as a power user. Mostly because there's more "normal" users out there, I feel like any alternative UI would be neglected. Seems like you'd be consigning yourself to being a second class citizen. Maybe this works on Linux where there's less of a profit incentive because development on niche WM's and such is largely done by hobbyists, but I'm having a hard time imagining Apple spending a lot of resources on developing something large for a minority of users. Maybe if they opened it up a bit and had some sort of open plugin based build-your-own experience that could shift some of the effort off of them? I could see that working but it doesn't seem in line with Apple's philosophy.
