MacOS was really overdue for an overhaul and so far I am loving it.

Loving Liquid Glass—but macOS needs to catch up

Well, I've got to admit I'm biased cus it's this 'modern-ness' exactly that I much dislike. I used to log in to Mac OS X and feel kinda at home, not at work (or in kindergarten, if we talk iOS 7+).
After more than a decade of robotic, overly minimalistic designs, this here feels at least slightly fancier.

to each their own, I just wish I could turn it all off, I want my OS to get out of the way. honestly think iOS got even more immature. looks like someone with out UX knowledge having too much fun with drop shadows and glow edges filters.
I really am expecting a MacFold device where it's a MacBook Air to large iPad
could not possibly disagree more
it feels like a massive step backwards both visually and usability wise
we've circled back around to macOS looking like a toy for children
I have Surface Pro 7 while it is kind outdated at this point of time, 10th Gen Core i5.
The Windows 11 touch experiences is semi-okay. I can only say that I can get by with Touch with Surface 7, but it is still better experience with keyboard and mouse. The Surface devices does not feel complete without keyboard and mouse.
It is to be see how Apple is managing turning a desktop experience into a touch, macOS in lots of way still need keyboard and mouse to operate.
I don't understand how someone could come to that conclusion.
Tahoe feels fresh & modern to me. The only disappointment is that I have to wait until the fall. But by then bugs will be ironed out, & tweaks will have been made.
it works fine right now
no major bugs for me so far
I wouldn't expect many tweaks. I think it looks exactly how they want it to look
it's fascinating how there's polarizing opinions, makes discussion more fun. I'm personally in the camp that Tahoe looks terrible and amateurish. Everything bubbled in gives me a claustrophobic vibe, elements need more room to breathe otherwise it's a cluttered mess.
basically it feels like they were more concerned about forcing in liquid glass than why they made liquid glass
Sorry, but Metro and anything related to Windows 8 can jump in a fire and die. That interface was straight trash and attempted to make a desktop operate like a phone/tablet, which makes no sense from a UI/UX perspective.
Me too. I can’t wait to not buy it. There are Windows prototypes floating around like this already (Lenovo? I can’t remember) which look sort of interesting, but I’m very old and decrepit and I want my keyboard to have keys. Also, I used a hackintoshed Yoga C930 through the disastrous butterfly keyboard years. It had a working touchscreen. I never used the touch option for anything, the best thing about it was that I managed to get it working.
Metro looked on the phone like it was one of those phones for the elderly who can’t wrap their heads around all those tiny icons, and on the computer it just looked dumb.
I was never a fan of Apple's recent macOS releases to begin with, but this is truly nightmarish. Laugable that someone at Apple is getting paid to come up with this nonsense.
it truly is an abomination
Oh dear. Those floaty < > buttons are evil itself.
If you don't like it, don't use it. Its as simple as that.
sure, nothing as simple as just switching operating systems when you've been using the same one for decades
And if you make it text only it makes it all take up even more space by adding this search bar

the safari toolbar is a disaster. you can't take out the sidebar or download buttons, so you are stuck with a giant toolbar.
you CAN take out the address/search bar but you can't type in the tab headers if you do so then you have nowhere to type!
how is going from this:

an improvement?!?

I upgrade every year. I don't understand the mentality of using the same thing for decades.
