Can you name at least two apps that has been abandoned? That hasn't been my experience at all with macOS.
I don't have a single app that was abandoned. BBEdit, 1Password, Little Snitch, MailMate, Tweetbot, Typinator, Rocket, and many more are all still updated when need be. Key note is "need", stable apps do not need constant yearly updates.
In addition, you can say the same thing about Windows. Metro, UWP and previous attempts didn't go anywhere either, their MS Store is pretty much a flop. (Granted, MAS as well).
Linux...it's not bad but there are issues with various UI frameworks, stores, etc. GTK/QT, Flatpak, snap, etc.

That Caffeine app to prevent the laptop from sleeping. iTunes Adobe Fuse Google Picasa
- odysseus 6y agoYou can replace Caffeine with Amphetamine. Some minor aspects of Dragthing can be replaced with Siracusa’s app Switchglass. As for Overdrive, does Libby work on the Mac?
- fxtentacle 6y agoI don't know. My library has since switched to the Tolino app. And since most of my pro audio apps also stopped working on OS X and the USB dongle works the same with Windows and Mac, I myself also abandoned OS X for productive work.
- Kipters 6y agoAs far as I know Caffeine still works, you just need to manually enable it in Preferences.app (I remember getting it to work on Mojave, but my MacBook has been on a shelf collecting dust since I updated it to Catalina two months ago)
