Unironically Mac OS 7/8/9 felt the best IMHO. Even though there were some missteps (the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_Strip was awful) and 9.x got a bit overloaded towards the end.

Mac OS X (and macOS still) never felt as good.

Apple's classic human interface guidelines were well thought out. They should consider rereading them sometime.

Tiger still had that weird thing where half the apps were brushed metal for no apparent reason.

A lot of people argue it peaked with snow leopard; that was consistent, performant, and feature complete, not yet overly influenced by mobile.
