As a longtime user of Macs this is dead on. Mac OS UX feels cumbersome today in a way it never used to feel. A lot of that is by comparison to Windows 10/11 and Linux, rather than actual regression, but it doesn’t change the fact that it feels bad. I remember first using OSX and it feeling like a revelation compared to Windows.
Honestly it wouldn’t take much to fix this. If they implement drag windows snapping; rethink full screen mode; and improve the intelligence of dock autohiding, I think it would do a lot, but as is I feel like I am fighting the software to do basic window navigation.
At the same time, I think Apple is currently doing some of their best most sensible hardware design and their quality control has only gotten better.
Despite my misgivings about Mac OS I still choose a Mac for work because I need a laptop and I want a quality machine, but I really hope Apple take a long hard look at MacOS and devotes some resources to pushing desktop operating systems forward again.
