Slipping? Both Tahoe and the latest versions of iOS are an inconsistent mess that screams of managers demanding changes for the sake of having something to ship…and bullet points to throw in a slide deck for their boss.
In the last year or so Apple has completely lost my confidence when it comes to UI design.
The choices these days for a functional desktop are pretty abysmal. Either pick a Linux distro and tune the hell out of it to your liking for a week or battle AI on the MS side and a start menu that can’t even be consistent with search strings, or fight Apple changes for changes sake…and doing insane things like throwing a full screened YouTube video onto a virtual desktop for no apparent reason past the rule of cool…which seems to dominate their thinking on UI these days (see: stage manager, what a joke).
When I can't run Sequoia on my personal Macs anymore, I'll be done with macOS.
I'll keep using the latest for the work provided laptop. For my next job, being able to use Linux will be a definite plus.
For most other software so, Linux is the 'better Windows' in many cases. I'll keep another with stripped-down Windows 10 around for other software for as long as it gets updates.
Finder has always been pretty garbage. Which view will the finder show this folder in? I never know, because it's always inconsistent.
Another bug, I'd been running the beta macos Sequoia 15.7.4, and if I'd search for all the e.g. PDFs in my ~/Downloads, then move them to the trash, they'd still show up in the search, but if you clicked on them, the filepath would show trash.
I doubt they will, but I hope they keep updating sequoia with security fixes for a while longer.

I'm staying on Sequoia for the foreseeable future. Hopefully macOS 27 gets its act together.

FTFF has been a mantra since … the first release of Mac OS X?
Staying on Sequoia and iOS 18. Despite potential security concerns, fuck OS 26 trash.
