Apple has been going down hill at an exponential rate since the loss of Steve (and subsequently just about all real engineers at Apple).

Swift is turning into a mess and SwiftUI is complete, utter garbage. Tahoe’s UI is unbearable.

The problem is there is no real alternative - Linux is the closest thing (but has its issues).

Tahoe’s UI is a disaster. Giant buggy controls. Sad to see where macOS has ended up. Apple used to have so much attention to detail in their UI design - now it looks like it’s “anything goes”.

Pathetic.

Human accelerated change is the concern.

I long for a modern NeXTStep-like OS. A polished, consistent, solid operating system that is lean, clean and simply focused on getting things done. It should be predictable in every way and never get in your way. None of this SwiftUI bullshit, Animoji, AI or blurry UI. sigh

Use it every day and still no idea where anything really is in there. What a shitshow.

Not sure.

This might be the main issue with software at Apple getting so much worse. Bertrand knew what he was doing. Apple's (and NeXT's) OS used to be an OS, not a collection of toy apps.

The problem is the materials used. Greedy developers building junk homes and making bank. People in those areas are able to afford fire resistant housing but most of them are being swindled into buying stick homes. The few properly designed homes fared far better. Code needs to be updated and consumers need to be educated.

Actually, in the long run, it's likely to make good engineers a lot more scarce.
