The only part I don't like so far are Catalyst apps, these are apps that have been ported from the iPad. Music is a bit of a dog on the Mac and TV isn't great either.
Hopefully Catalyst will disappear once SwiftUI matures.
The article dose say:
The good news is, for all the recent fears among Mac users that Apple might be attempting to collapse Mac, iPhone, and iPad into a single amorphous product, macOS Monterey still feels unreservedly like a Mac.
- deergomoo 5y ago> Music is a bit of a dog on the Mac Music isn't even Catalyst, it's the old iTunes codebase with the non-music features ripped out and a fresh coat of paint. It's possibly the worst app I use day-to-day on the Mac. It's crashy, buggy (I regularly have AirPlay playback just stop after 10 seconds for no reason), and because the entire Apple Music feature set is just embedded web views, it's also incredibly slow and janky.
- jtvjan 5y agoI guess Catalyst will now be the name for "OSX apps that look like iOS apps blown up to a big screen".
- matwood 5y agoI don't think Catalyst was mentioned at WWDC much if at all. Also no new Catalyst apps were announced. I think it's already on its way out.
