> I came to a decision. It was time to leave modern macOS behind.

It was the opposite for me: I decided to leave Windows behind after a mounting cascade of frustration and disappointment with Microsoft and Their Way of Doing Things.

Fast forward to Now: I'm still happy on macOS Tahoe. Apple does some dumb annoying shit too but it hasn't yet gotten to the point where I give up computing altogether and retire to a Tibetan monastery. Or switch to Linux. Whenever I get to look at the current state of Windows it has nothing that makes me want to go back. Sure, like an ex it still has a few things that you wish you could still enjoy, like a few games, but then you remember why you left them in the first place.

Some of the things that irk me the most about macOS:

• The dumbness or complete lack of documentation about some specific things, specially on the developer side.

• Some features touted as hot and sexy during a new release's PR wave and then rotting in a half-baked state.

• Some minor bugs remaining unfixed for years.

• Most improvements being tied to a major version cycle, even if they could easily be shipped in a minor monthly/quarterly update.
