No wonder, so far it has been another Vista, the way managed screw all devs that bought into UWP reboot, and the hardware requirements, there are no reasons left to upgrade other that getting it with new hardware. I will be waiting for Windows 11 Creators Edition [0] or Windows 12, whatever comes. [0] - The first Windows 10 version that was actually usable. |

I beg to differ. Vista had tons of stability and performance issue, plus breaking many things. Windows 11 for me was smooth sailing so far, even on older hardware that isn't officially supported.
Window management and tiling is far better and boosts my productivity, docking and undocking your laptop finally doesn't mess your window layout, fractional scaling is better, WSL, Terminal, PS and other power user creature comforts just work nicer out of the box, HDR support is there, windows-key search works faster, notifications are better implemented, windows defender has extra security features like core isolation, etc.
I still hate the new taskbar UX that groups everything together in icons, requiring multiple clicks to pick your desired task vs the classic Win 9x way I've been using for over 20 years, but other than that, I haven't found any performance issues, bugs or any other kind of deal breakers that get in my way or kill my productivity.
I can still play my modern and most importantly to me, my vintage video games natively, without any kind of hacks, emulation or extra VMs, so it gets a pass for me since I don't want extra hassle in my life. Hell, I'll even recommend Edge despite the uproar on HN, since if you're on a thin and light laptop with a small battery, it really gets you significant better battery life than Chrome or FF if you do a lot of browsing away from the wall.
