So is the next version of macOS actually going to be good?

I have to admit that the idea of having a local AI sort my files according to the context I've always used so I could clean up every single folder on my system sounds pretty appealing.

No thanks, Whatever organizing I do, I'll do it my way. Could this AI really learn to do it my way? that would be something.

One thing I didn't believe from they keynote, "Spotlight will be good". It never has been.

Many of the AI stuff sound cool in a "Star Trek" kind of way, but they have promised cool AI stuff before and didn't deliver. And I have an Intel Mac so I will not be getting Mac OS 27 anyway.

I still haven't updated; not really planning to still. Everything works fine now, why upgrade to a buggy mess?

I find Tahoe to be an acceptable MacOS.

I'm still on Sequoia because why not?

Same. No issues here! Will be until the M5 Studio comes out.

None of the new features of Tahoe or Golden Gate interest me and as I seem to be the only Mac user who uses Launchpad...

I so wish they would ditch annual releases. Release a new version when new tech requires a new kernel. Not before. The current method reeks of boardroom gimmickry.

next year there will be a new Apple CEO in charge, so we will see.

You don't like when the new feature is throwing out the old good interface and adding OMG NEW EMOJIS!?

I miss whole number = major changes, 0.x = feature updates, 0.0.x = bug fixes
