Dye’s “consistency” poorly attempts to solve a problem no Mac users had, by radically redesigning the Mac to be utterly unlike itself, carelessly discarding decades of thoughtful design, function, and delight without bothering to understand any of it, and lacking adequate resources to replace it with anywhere near the quality and consideration that it once had.

It’s the sad conclusion of macOS’ takeover, under Tim Cook, by people who seem to kinda hate the Mac.

@marcoarment I’ve found Tahoe to be delightful the few weeks I’ve used it. Absolutely love the colors, shapes and materials of new design and haven’t ran in to any problems with usability thus far. The things that are bad (like the Settings app) are not any worse than before. As a user I’m stoked about this years OS cycle.

@jonc –

I admit this was the first Apple redesign-type announcement ever that unnerved me after I began to sit with it (I've previously found myself playing the temperate role as others were unnerved around me), so I appreciate hearing actual people say they actually like it.

(And almost no one has been posting Tahoe screen shots in dark mode, which I've considered the only real mode since Mojave. So this one is particularly helpful.)
