The UX used to be better by a country mile. The liquid glass update was a genuinely serious regression. Is Windows or Android now better? At least those operating systems don't have constant contrast issues and flickering. At this point they probably have more consistency.
MacOS reliability has slowly gotten worse and worse, but the UX drop with liquid glass was profound.
I don't agree with the whining about liquid glass. Sure, it isn't the design you like. But usability really isn't that different.
I agree. MacOS became completely unusable with Liquid Glass, it totally feels like one of those amateur custom themes for Linux.
I hope the new leadership will bring back better software. As of now, macOS 26 is disgusting.
