I've been using Macs exclusively since 2010, and I basically feel the same way. The hardware is still fantastic. I still plan to replace my 2015 MBP with an M2 Max MBP when they become available. But I am intensely frustrated by unnecessary and inferior UI changes that would frankly never have passed muster when Steve Jobs was alive. I know it's trite to say, but I honestly think the current Apple UX team doesn't have the same philosophy and understanding of the Apple UX teams of yore. I say this as someone that has pretty much entirely shifted my tech to Apple over the last 5 years. I don't see me going elsewhere at the moment, but I do see a shift towards turning Mac devices into walled gardens that don't give the user actual control similar to iOS devices. I'm fine with that for my phone, not for my laptop, end of story.
