I've been seeing this exact same comment for over a decade now.

The first couple of releases of OSX are always a little rough around the edges. And then by the end of the cycle everyone proclaims how wonderful this release is.

See everyone next year !

Except the bugs have continued to get worse and worse. For me the deal breaker was the blank page in iOS Safari[1]. After fighting that one constantly, I threw in the towel. I've been so much happier. Btw I was an Apple user from System 7 through to 2019.

Back in the days OS X was a dumpster fire in terms of overall reliability until the very late releases of every major version. Some versions like Lion had pure crashes until the end.

Even looking a few years before, we had the root user password bug and other pretty severe issues way worse than what we’re seeing now.

I did say over the past 5 years, so things like the root password issue I include in that. I'm also utterly convinced airdrop is just a long running joke at Apple, I've gotten it to work like twice.

Snow Leopard was as solid as OSX ever got in my estimation. Man I miss those days. Snow Leopard's primary goal was just to harden Leopard and not really have too many new features. Apple really needs to bring that kind of thinking back. I'm happy to see their hardware is back on track, now if they could just get the software to do a U turn...
