Wrong. LO 7.3 crashed with a new Writer Document after I tried to change the toolbar. Imagine such a bad test coverage.
icons still blurry on macOS retina display. Chronic bug unsolved since aeons
Also due to one-process for all architecture, if one document crashes, it crashes all other documents with it.

Crash with Skia on macOS: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145843
Crash on intel macs on macOS Monterey: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146759
LO needs more general QA testing and more dev time invested towards macOS the neglected OS. All this needs to be financed and things are not so easy finding solutions for this decade old problem.
fwiw, I use both daily on macos and they are equally buggy for me.
I'm not sure why these sorts of things turn into flamewars so often.
Pushing a new rendering engine without extensively testing it on a new OS release is simply nuts.
Skia will be deactivated by default on macOS in 7.3.1: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/290957ad1383565c9720...
