I actually like the look of Big Sur, but the bugs... oh god the bugs.

That new notification center looks real nice. Shame my first experience with it has been it repeatedly hanging, gobbling up RAM and CPU cycles, and generally not displaying notifications.

(Extra fun if it hangs while notifications are still on screen; then they just sit there forever. 'pkill NotificationCenter' has been my friend lately.)

It’s kind of interesting because in the Snow Leopard era you didn’t have OS level notifications but you had Growl. And the Growl API was extremely well supported, and arguably better supported because it wasn’t limited to App Store apps.

Further, Growl allowed the user to customize look and feel, persistence, the types of notifications, etc which allowed you to create a notification system that was far more effective than anything available on the Mac today.

It’s easy to argue that 12 years later notifications on Macs is worse than what it was in the late 2000s.

I get every notification double. And they took away the snooze options on calendar notifications but they are still there for reminder notifications.
