Apple still sucks less, but years of internal disincentives of some sort have let the competition make progress. They need a come to $DIETY moment and to do a "snow leopard" across the board.
What they really need is to go back to the focus on functionality and dependability that made the original mac such a success. But even a periodic "snow leopard" effort would be much better than what we have today.
(For those who didn't remember it, Snow leopard was a widely acclaimed Mac OS X release that supposedly focused on reliability and performance and not on new features)
- astrange 4y agoI claim that new feature work is actually less likely to annoy you than "reliability and performance" work, and is also less likely to introduce bugs. Performance work is perfectly capable of introducing bugs and going back and opening up old project is very likely to.
- gumby 4y agoApple does embrace your approach: they'd rather re-implement than fix. I think the example cited by the post (Apple Music) and more generally the experience of the last 15 years of Apple suggests that your this is wrong, at least for Apple.
