I finally upgraded to Tahoe on my work machine — on Mac I have now — and so far it’s not as terrible as everyone says it is. Maybe because I’ve heard all the talk about it and I was prepared or maybe I’m just not as discerning?

I did spend 20+ years writing Windows code and five doing Linux stuff.

NT 3.51 is still the most robust OS I’ve ever used.

One super odd thing in Tahoe is corner rounding depending on what version of the SDK you used. Tahoe corners are really round. Pre-Tahoe/macOS 26 builds have less round corners, which is a really weird choice, if you ask me. I know you didn’t, but there you go.

@fahrni don't underestimate the lack of macOS Tahoe polish... give it some time.

@fahrni Give it time. It'll annoy you.

@fahrni I actually like 26, a LOT. I think it’s a vast improvement. I’m not a developer so maybe I don’t notice the inconsistencies everyone is always talking about. I have one app where the share sheet won’t display correctly but otherwise I’m quite happy with 26.

I lived through Windows 8 (which was the catalyst for me to move to Mac). Maybe the scars from that experience have made me numb to issues others find incredibly annoying.

@fahrni is it just the SDK that determines it? I thought it also varied based on if Liquid Glass to bar items were present or not (the rounder corner radii match the curve of the LG elements); if just, say, traffic lights up there, then the curvature more closely matches those
