I don't disagree with many of his points. Snow Leopard was built when Apple was firing on all cylinders. It was a very solid release where everyone was doing good to great work. BUUUUT- Big Sur, while not perfect, is damn good to me. The UI is more consistent, if not more friendly. Compared to say, Snapchat, (which seems to build functionality only to befuddle non teens so that they can hide their activity) Big Sur is downright amazing. I dont think that we should stray from concise, clear, and discoverable UI/UX. But I also dont think we should stop at what we all think was the best and never change. Keep in mind that even 60, 70, 80 and 90 year old users who never could deal with computers in the past are able to work iPads and iPhones now. My mom is in her 70s and uses her iPhone 7 for all her computing needs. To me that means we can push users a bit to adapt to newer UI standards. Again, Snow Leopard was great- no disputes here. Big Sur is not perfect. But its better in my experience than Catalina, Mojave, heck even going back to the Lion OSes. I was pretty much disappointed to downright irritated on the first releases of say 10.8 to 10.15. I really expected Big Sur to render half of my software unusable. Fortunately it wasnt even 5% of my software that had a problem.
