It’s so sad. Circa 2003 OS X wasn’t just good it was amazing. Nearly Movie OS quality. Every release the quality goes down. Every migration to SwiftUI more and more AppKit standard feature get lost.

In 2003 it was a dog’s dinner. I remember getting kernel panics from pulling out an already ejected USB stick.

2003 OS X sucked.
Sucked compared to what? My OS X life began shortly before Panther, and coming from a Linux laptop everything was better. Compared to Windows XP, everything in Panther was better. Panther on a 1GHz TiBook was amazing compared to anything else at the time.
Guess what people were saying in 2003…
Can we add Photos to that list? Can we add it twice cause it is that bad.
Books can go on it too. No matter the free storage space on my iPad, it relentlessly nerfs stuff to iCloud rendering its utility on long aeroplane journeys completely worthless.
I'd need another hand to fully count all the Apple apps that have burned me in the past.
