There's a few nice quality of life features in Ventura, but MacOS really seems way down Apple's priority list nowadays.

They're using all software building resources for iOS and then just slap any reusable features on their desktop OS whenever possible. Great when it works for apps that are quite similar (e.g. messages), terrible for things that simply work very differently on a desktop OS (system settings, stage manager is pointless etc.).

Good opportunity for Windows to finally beat MacOS in UI/UX, since they don't have a mobile OS to worry about?



I agree with most of your assessment, however:

> Good opportunity for Windows to finally beat MacOS in UI/UX, since they don't have a mobile OS to worry about?

Given how much of a step back every Windows release is, starting after Win2k, in terms of *consistency* of the user experience - I would argue both companies are their own worst enemies here.


Windows hasn't even ported all their Win2K GUIs to whatever their current UI framework is


Those tend to be the most usable parts of modern Windows releases.
