Apple in 2026:
@nikitonsky That's the kind of performance I'd expect from running in a virtual machine with CPU emulation and no GPU acceleration.

For me it's not just the bugs or performance issues, but the way their apps all look and feel like Electron apps now. The UI design, usability, search, consistency, navigation are all bad, and on the Mac, nothing follows Mac conventions anymore.I recall when Mac fans would imagine if we had to choose between using Windows on Mac hardware or macOS on PC hardware. The difficult answer was always the software over the hardware. Today though?

Yes, I too pine for the days of System 7.5, the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, and the "Platinum" theme by Susan Kare. You really only needed one mouse button.
I agree, modern MacOS is a trash pile.
Nowadays, on my work laptop (MacBook M1), I avoid the MacOS UI/UX by keeping Chrome and Emacs both full screen and switching between them with the Ctrl-Arrow keys. No dock, everything launched with Spotlight or the Emacs Shell. Actually, I do something similar on Windows as well. Super-Tab to switch from Emacs to Chrome and back.
