I upgraded to Catalina and barely noticed the restrictions since I mostly use Browser, Terminal and Editor - along with some off-the-shelve proprietary software. For me it's a good development since I rarely download .DMGs from the web browser, and if I do, I get a strong reminder that this might contain adware, spyware or just make my system a little more buggy. Most software I actually install through homebrew and it's nice that the software has been checked more than once by other people. To me it's the whole point of using Mac(OS), things just work (TM) and if not there's a way to make them work. One positive thing actually: I think Apple tidied up the DTrace configuration, so it's much easier to start without doing any crazy configuration stunts.
