I'm holding off upgrading my laptop (2013 MBP running Catalina) until they get their UI stuff together. I'd just gotten used to Sequoia on my desktop but this is unbearable.

Not a single update since 2019 has improved the UI more than it regressed it in my opinion. Too much whitespace, too little contrast, too big controls, and now too little readability.

It's almost like their entire UI department is under threat of being fired unless they invent a radical UI update every other year.

Even Vista was a readability zen compared to this and they aren't listening to feedback at all.
