Well the corollary to above is that there's some stuff that I find really helpful. The ecosystem sucked me in. I got an Apple Watch and iPhone for the first time not long ago for other reasons (mostly I need to track swimming and could not for the life of me find a decent non-Apple smart watch that would do this for me). The integration between the iPhone and the MBP - as basic as it is - has been a massive productivity boost for me. Just having the call handling route through my laptop when I'm at the desk is a huge convenience feature that gives me time back. Is it worth the sum of small issues I keep hitting like this? Sometimes it is, a lot of the time it's not. I'd like to see Apple fix these kind of basic things before making the icons look more like the phone, though. Craig Federighi said Big Sur is the most significant release since OSX. Sometimes it's hard to distill the engineering from the marketing but I sincerely hope that's not what they really believe as it is desperately in need of another Snow Leopard release. Just spend a year fixing stuff that should never have been broken in the first place.
