1. OSX has not been stagnating. It’s been regressing. Design patterns that used to be encouraged by Apple led to first party and third party apps that were small, focused, inter-operated with other apps and were extremely scriptable. All this was supported by window handling that made it easy to support a workflow involving multiple apps. The new design patterns encourage apps that are to be used full screen, have low visual density, and does not encourage inter-app communication or scripting at all, and with the sandbox actively discouraged it. Even Gruber has been pointing out how Apple is encouraging apps that eschew all the advantages that OSX has over iOS to the point that it’s much better for devs to simply build web apps (his focus is more on the sandbox though so that’s another way OSX has regressed). https://daringfireball.net/2018/02/non_native_apps_threat_to_mac https://daringfireball.net/2018/02/non_native_apps_threat_to...
