I'm not sure I've encountered a single bug in the half year or more I've had this. I don't ask a lot of it, to be fair. I guess Firefox as my main browser really drains the hell out of the battery, which is annoying. Not really a bug.

That is amazing. My work machine is on Big Sur and the minor glitches are pretty constant. Having bluetooth connected can cause weird issues, the dock and top bar frequently forget where they are supposed to be, and quite a few other similarly minor issues.

Yeah, in my experience macOS work really well if you just stick to the same few applications over time. I guess my problem is that I'm always installing new stuff, tinkering with settings, and tweaking things everywhere I go. I don't think I've ever gone more than a year or two without having to completely wipe my mac and start over from scratch because of bugs.

I probably tweak more settings than most on macOS and I've not encountered any of the common bugs people experience.

Reviews on tech boards about macOS are similar to reviews for apartment buildings: why would anybody bother writing a good one? Complaints and issues bubble to the top.

One other big problem I've had with bugs and issues in macOS is that every time I look online for solutions, I consistently find people entirely dismissing those problems as rare or "you're using it wrong" instead of acknowledging that problems exist and/or offering potential solutions.

It's extremely frustrating when you're just trying to work and your OS gets in the way _and_ everyone online just says, "Well, it works for me!"

Amusingly, trying to debug issues with Windows is equally frustrating, but for different reasons.

Post your issues/an example then. I'm legitimately curious.
