I ditched Microsoft about 10 years ago and have been a fervent proponent of Apple ever since, but since WWDC 2019, I cannot honestly recommend Apple to a new user anymore.
There are just too damn many bugs.
In everything. Operating systems, software, services, built-in apps, even their developer tools and even in their frameworks and the Swift language itself.
I run into at least one bug literally every day. Someone could write a daily blog about this. Core features like keyboard input, text selection, AirDrop, photo picker, iCloud Drive etc. are erratic and unreliable. It's a death by thousand cuts. Apple is no longer the clear best, just the least worst.
I love the 16" MBP though, and restoring it to the exact state as my previous 15" MBP from a Time Machine backup was smooth and effortless. But when I tried to backup the new system, it seemed to ignore the existing backup I had just restored from, proceeding to write 300+ GB all over again and not showing the older snapshots in the UI.
