> Looking at the console can get rather depressing

Opening Console and watching critical error messages stream in at an alarming rate when you do basically anything in the entire OS, is a great way to remind yourself just how bad Apple’s software quality has gotten. They're absolutely drowning in bugs.

I just opened it, after waking my laptop up from sleep, and about 10,000 errors+warnings have streamed in in the past 30 seconds or so. I'm doing nothing, just a single Safari window with this tab and nothing else going on.

(It would be interesting to see a graph of “errors per second while doing nothing” over each yearly release.)

I'm getting really fed up with all the bugs in Sequoia in particular. I know the usual advice is to not upgrade macOS major versions until .1 or .2, but we're up to 15.3.1 now and it's still terrible.
I hate to be pessimistic but I have to agree. I have filed a number of bug reports, about Logic Pro for example. I try to be detailed and a number of them should have been real gimmes, but it seems that half the time somebody just asks for a crash dump or example file to ignore it.
but it is all a success! (customers are paying money for products) /s
