I understood that, and I was using it in the same way.

> I don't think software is improving today, which is why I have to be nagged to upgrade. I don't think it worse…

Yeah this is the part I was disagreeing with, and I gave a couple examples showing why it’s meaningfully worse now.

I’ve been using Macs since the 1980s. The timeframe of 20-25 years ago (post Classic Mac OS) was some of the best software Apple has ever released.

Maybe. I personally couldn’t afford to switch until 2004. And I grew up with PCs (well my first computer was an Osborne). Even then, it felt expensive and slow until the Intel switch.
