> Are you primary using electron-based apps, or true native macOS apps? Maybe I’m lucky but I run macOS daily without any problems.

There’s an in-between abomination — Catalyst based apps from/by Apple (quickly migrated from iOS to macOS). Reminders, Notes and others are downright unnavigable and unusable with a keyboard and are so, so terrible in their UX. It’s a shame that Apple hasn’t spent any effort in fixing those and making them true native macOS apps.

For the last several years, there has been nobody at Apple who has good taste and a deep and committed interest in UX.

Most Apple apps are somewhat bad nowadays. It largely defeat the marketing/purpose of the "ecosystem" because the 3rd party stuff doesn't necessarily integrate the "special sauce" (like sharing for passing stuff around). So if you end up just running 3rd party apps that are just some web app wrapper or custom implementation UI it begs the question of even using Apple hardware. Yes it's top of the line, but it is also very expensive at any given level of performance.

They are just milking their media/dev niches at this point and mostly caters to the common denominator with low expectation for premium prices.

If you gotta run Chrome, Microsoft Office, Google Web Apps and the likes it doesn't feel worth it. Meanwhile the indie app market is insane with expensive subscription for utilities that are basically free elsewhere.

And I lowkey hate what iOS has become. Convoluted and unpredictable. Now ugly as well.

I don't think so. There might be some, but definitely not a majority.

My biggest complaint is with Firefox - it works fine on my older Mac, but crashes on Tahao and only works after a system restart.

Same here. While Liquid Glass might be a bit distracting, I don't remember the last time I had an app crash. It's been quite a while.

26.1 fixed a lot of the buggy/laggy feeling too.

Same here (except when switching branch in a repo with Xcode open…)
