> What improvements have there been since System 6
I can use touch gestures, scroll intuitively or swipe between recently active websites or apps on my iOS device.
I can work seamlessly on the same document using multiple devices and/or with multiple people.
(Web) UX advances let me view maps, browse apartment listings, compare various kinds of products and order stuff online.
Then again, not sure how much all that is worth since I still use console for work.
