Glad it's not just me thinking that. The amount of UI bugs I encountered in the last few macOS versions is fairly annoying.
Very often, when I switch input keyboards between English/Mandarin, the popup that appears to indicate the selected language just won't go away automatically. I have to manually go and click somewhere to get rid of it. Also had loads of issues with notifications not rendering correctly.
I have no idea what they can even do at this point. I have young Japanese friends (early 20s) and they all tell me the same thing: the cost of raising a child is too high in Japan (considering the wages).
When I talk to people it seems that they all have this concern, I doubt it's something that can be changed drastically in the short term.
But this is basically the same story everywhere. Living costs are really high. Add children to the mix and how do you manage?
If I put my pessimist hat on, it's just a matter of time till the same happens in Europe/US.
Heck, I already see friends in Ireland and UK struggling with that and they are all high earners.
But I am glad we now have more paid options available. Tooling is important and people that do good work should be able to charge for high quality tools.
I would be much happier in a world full of tools licensed like Sublime Text, where I can purchase a license and just run it without the need to constantly phone home though.
No fuss, just works, good price for what they deliver. Never had any issues.
