It’s insanely buggy. My wife has two user accounts, one for her work and one for everything else, so she can switch out of the work user at the end of the day to put it out of her mind.

She comes across bugs on the regular that I’ve never seen in 16 years of Mac use, but only when the other user account is logged in (i.e. quick user switching rather than a full log out).

Stuff that user accounts shouldn’t even make any difference to, like the menu bar disappearing or rendering too far up so it’s half off screen. Save dialogs stop appearing. Windows that are open but appear to be rendering off screen somewhere. It’s wild. This is on a < 1 year old MacBook Air running the latest OS. It’s an absolute shambles.

His has been my experience as well. The changes from System Preferences to Settings have been an abomination. Previously we had uniquely designed layouts for each setting. Now everything is a list. Now menus scroll without any indication that there’s more content. “Sheets” are no longer resizable and take up the center of the view. User space networking (cool) hangs while pegging one CPU (lame). Everything requires special permissions and several times a month I’m having to figure out why a program can’t access something. Writing programs forces using Swift UI APIs that don’t have equivalent functionality to their App Kit versions.

After over 20 years, I’m really unhappy with macOS. The last five years have have been a huge productivity regression.

I created a new user on my macbook for my girlfriend when her laptop broke, and she could see my files in the “Recent files” tab. I’m not even sure if there was a separation of files. And I have no clue what the intended boundary is supposed to be between users.

I made a new user for Zoom screen share and was equally confused when my personal files and info would show up in searches and such. And it seems like most things install globally?

Ended up using a whole new computer to have a clean screenshare environment.
