I regularly use a 10.4 Tiger machine for music and graphic projects and it is a breath of fresh air compared to where MacOS is today. My daily drivers are Mavericks/Mojave/Mojave but recently got an M1 iMac with Monterey. Nothing about Mojave-->Monterey feels like an improvement.

Aside from high-DPI, I'd be pressed to think of a single Mac interface convention or element that is better today than 2005. Many are a lot worse.

Tabs as a first-class UI element used in many apps is a big improvement. They are a big part of how I use Finder for instance.

Yes, good call on tabs.
