My biggest gripe with MacOS by far is that I can't hibernate. There is only this "sleep" mode that makes whatever it wants, with the promise that it will Just Work. I frequently find my laptop with an empty battery because who knows what. And a laptop that does not power up when you expect is the second worst kind of laptop (at least you don't lose the data, which would be the worst case). When searching for solutions, internet delivers hypertechnical answers that are reminiscent of when I was dealing with a Linux laptop (pmset -g assertions browsing). To me, apple as a "Unix that Just Works" is a failure. The hardware is high quality, but the brand-and-software premium price has stopped being a good deal for me. |

Sleep used to be a problem for me and a lot of others... back in 2012. I would consistently have issues with my MBP "waking up" when unplugging it from the wall but not opening it; occasionally I would close my MBP and coincidentally hear the fans going full blast 30 minutes later. Definitely untrustworthy 5/6 years ago
But sleep is generally a solved problem, so I have to think you're on a pre-Retina machine or running an older OS, or you've got some kexts doing bad things.
