Apple in the old days with one tenth of the budget could deliver something so much better.

Today Apple has more money than they know what to do with it and yet every single release it is still going downhill.

With the lack of polish and attention to detail I see in Tahoe, I for one am really glad I stayed on Sequoia! They need a "Snow Leopard" release - zero new features, hundreds of bug fixes.

I guess it's why they built the new headquarters as a donut shape so that issues can go round and round and round and round forever

It's an (understandable) bummer that the latest phones and iDevices require the latest iOS/macOS. My friend was trying to stay on Sequoia but then couldn't interface with their new AirPods, so they had to upgrade.

Insanity. Did they somehow not support normal Bluetooth connection??

This is why you just remove beloved features when there’s no champion left for them, rather than dragging people along with half-hearted patches. Now not only is everyone who cares upset with Apple, they’re going to be more infuriated when the obviously pending cull of an unattended feature occurs. I imagine it has roots all the way back to NeXT? and so it presumably has some weird emotional hangups involved for staff.

Pathfinder is one third-party tool that implements Miller columns. Reverse sherlock it and move on, Apple; shoddy work is a bad look.

We truly are in the age of incompetence. Isn't Apple supposed to have budgets big enough to hire the brightest minds of the world? And this is all they can come up with? Then the emperor has no clothes and they're a bunch of overpaid bozos.

Are there gui frameworks that allow setting such type of constraints in a visually intuitive manner so that you don't have to remember to manually adjust element height when toolbar height changes?

wxWidgets has sizers where elements sit inside them and grow/shrink as necessary. Amusingly the macOS version is based on Cocoa, which I presume Finder is also based on...
