You could argue that macOS development is too slow, not too fast and in need of a maintenance year.

Basic OS features have fallen way behind in term of UX - and of vision. Managing files and searching for information have become a chore compared to most internet- or llm-based services. Even a bug-free Finder or faster Spotlight would not bridge that gap.

All apps listed in the article feel similarly lost behind - Mail, Messages, Photos. The only exception is System Settings that does definitely need a snow version.

This is obviously true for other platforms as well.

We are possibly lacking a leap forward. Not faster horses, electric cars.

An obvious root cause of this is the lack of newcomers to the OS again. It's an oligopole that has no interest making things much improved.
