There have been lots of complaints all over the place that contradict your experience.

One article that talks about it: https://osxdaily.com/2025/09/19/why-im-holding-off-on-upgrad...

For less discerning users maybe the rough edges aren't that noticeable. But the point of choosing Apple products is you should be a discerning consumer.


That article mentions basically that they’ve heard that some apps crash a bit but it’s anecdotal and not uncommon with beta/new upgrades before a patch or two (not uncommon), and that he personally dislikes or has trouble with some of the transparency or other design changes.

Neither of those things worry me personally, and I think the previous user calling it a “crappification” is still somewhat of an overreaction. Obviously from an accessibility standpoint transparency/legibility is important but as far as I’m aware tweaks are being made and these things can also be turned off or modified in accessibility settings.

This a pretty insulting comment. I’m sure ther is better word then discerning.
I was actually trying to be more neutral :\ than saying something like for consumers with taste

the point i'm trying to make is that "apple consumers" are more critical.

I understand. I have been using a Mac since 1984 and I actually like glass more than the flat aesthetic we have been through. I see it as closer to Aqua and a subtler skeuomorphic effort. I have reported to Apple some of the problems liquid glass has. I see Liquid glass as better than what we had before.
Also me having a different experience from you doesn’t make me any less critical or discerning or makes me have less taste.

There’s no good way to phrase a thought that is fundamentally flawed.

Thank you
