Some of these may not be bugs. For example, I actually prefer this: > Mail now loses the mailbox selection when you start a search, instead changing the selection to All Mailboxes, which is rarely the scope that I want. This one isn’t new to Ventura. This happened all the time to me as far back as Big Sur: > External drives still take minutes to mount or sometimes never mount automatically. Sometimes I can manually mount them from Disk Utility. Other times I need to reboot or disconnect other drives first. The real question is, has the author opened Feedback Requests about these things? If not, don’t expect them to get fixed any time soon.

I also prefer the new all mailbox search. The old behaviour drove me mad. It’s definitely not a bug.

External drives still take minutes to mount or sometimes never mount automatically. Sometimes I can manually mount them from Disk Utility. Other times I need to reboot or disconnect other drives first. I've encountered failing USB disks which appear to work fine on macOS, but suddenly operations take minutes to perform and can block operations system wide. They don't report errors, and they don't show as CPU use in any program, but everything on the system slows to a crawl when you hit sensitive spots on the disk. It's worth removing external storage devices and adding them back one by one any time you have a hanging or slow Mac to diagnose. Apple hates to scare or confuse users, but if a disk drive is taking a four orders of magnitude more time to do operations than it used to, I'd like my computer to please let me know.

  Yeah, I’ve felt that pain, for sure. The flip side is that if you don’t open a feedback request, don’t expect it to get fixed ever. They can’t fix a bug they aren’t aware of or don’t have steps to reproduce.

Some of the listed points in the article have been bugs for YEARS. They have survived major release cycles and a lot of them have Radars. Nobody wants to fix any of the thousands of bugs in MacOSX. Apple is just falling forward with every release.
