IMO the “desktop” metaphor for GUI computing was incredibly dumb the day it was introduced, and so it sort of cracks me up when people worry about it being dumbed down. It’s always dumb! That’s why it works for so many people. As long as MacOS supports powerful keyboard shortcuts, trackpad gestures, and the Unixy Terminal, I feel confident it will remain productive for me. I don’t really care about running mobile apps on desktop, but I also don’t really care about changes to window toolbars and aesthetics either. I learned MacOS once; I’m confident I can learn the 10% that is different from release to release.
