The last version that was 100% forward progress for me was Snow Leopard, which was essentially the performance/bug fix revision of Leopard. The Windows 7 from Vista equivalent.

Every update since then has felt slow, or introduced bugs. Perhaps it was because Snow Leopard came on a physical disk, so they couldn't "just ship it".

I think it’s time for them to do an OS upgrade like SL again. Just bug fixes. But this time they need to do it across all their devices too.

Not just one — two release cycles focused solely on bugs & performance are really in order. The sheer amount of change, necessary and otherwise, that has been dropped on the macOS in recent years has left things a right mess under the hood. Shoot, one release cycle alone should be focused on fixing/reversing the attempts to iOSify the Mac. The controls are wrong, the spacing is wrong, the appearance is wrong. Things are not consistent, and they do not work as the rest of the OS gives reason to expect.

People have said this for every single OS X release…

I remember feeling like how GP (with M1 Pro) feels when I upgraded my 2007 Intel MBP with Snow Leopard and and SSD. Everything was snappy and instantaneous until the wave of Electron apps and Lion and forced convergence with iOS design...
