Honest question; how is MacOS getting worse?

• EnderMB 7y ago
  For me, it's a mixture of a few things: 1. Improvements on OSX have stagnated, and any new features that have been added over the past few years have been a side-product of iOS. With all the talk of the OSX team at Apple being scrapped for a unified OS team, this kinda makes sense, since iOS is their cash cow, but it's not great for those that rely on a modern OS. 2. With every release there are new bugs, and Apple takes their sweet time fixing them. A prime example is the bug where a huge white block appears over your menu bar if you've got two monitors plugged in, and you're using an Electron app. I'd understand bugs like this on Windows, since they've got to cover thousands of different hardware types, but OSX is on one set of hardware. This should be a trivial bug to fix. 3. Finder seems to get worse and worse with every update. Nowadays, if I drag too many files from one place to another I have to kill it. No such problem on Debian or Windows. 4. Sometimes, Spotlight just "forgets" its index, and any time I try to find something I get unreliable results. They might seem fairly minor, but I feel less value from OSX updates than I do from Windows, and that perception is a dangerous thing.
