Apple software quality has declined significantly from the Objective-C era to the Swift era; but that actually has nothing to do with the programming language and everything to do with the forced march yearly release schedule and the lack of caring about quality by current Apple leadership.

Yes, but I would kill to get iTunes back now, because it was much better than Music app, which is absolute garbage. > Finder is still prone to spinning ball of fail - it used to be worse. I find Finder to be worse now, and slower. I'm not talking about the spinning beachball, I'm talking about normal operations such as sorting folders, copying and moving files, emptying the trash, etc. This is despite the fact that the hardware is faster than ever!
- valty 3y agoApple Photos is my new pet hate. I wanted to move my default library file from one drive to another and I waited 3 days for it to never finish. Seems like it had to update every single file in the database. It doesn't make sense that it needed to do anything at all really. In iTunes if I clicked on a file that no longer existed, it would lock up and come back after a minute each time with a dialog saying it doesn't exist.
