I had been debating whether to replace my 2013 MB Pro with another Mac or go with a ThinkPad. After seeing the UI comparison of Catalina and Big Sur, the decision is easy. My next laptop will be a ThinkPad.
I switched to Mac around 2001 when OS X was first released. I made the switch so that I could run OS X. I have witnessed a continual decline in it. I stopped my OS upgrades with Mojave because I didn't want to lose the ability to run Adobe PhotoShop CS4 and Microsoft Office 2011 (both 32-bit).
I can't stand washed-out (overly white) UIs. Add a bunch of unused real-estate and it's especially maddening. Throw in cartoonish icons and coloring and I'm out of here. The dumbing down of the OS has crossed my level of tolerance.
If it were possible to run alternate OSs on M1, I'd seriously consider it. I'm done with OSX/macOS.
