@morrick As someone who has many criticisms of Tahoe, it's not really significant enough to mention in a review.
The Tahoe backlash was always concentrated among the top 1% nerdiest Apple enthusiasts, who all happen to be active on Mastodon. The wider tech community never made much of a fuss about it. It continues to work about as well as it did before and a new coat of paint ultimately matters very little to them, let alone the average consumer.
