Do you agree with this video? "macOS Sucks"

[ProQuiz]

Watch the whole video before commenting. It's not exactly a "troll hate" video. Do you agree with the points made in the video?

One hour and ten minute video…. No thanks I’ll pass.

If the dude has some points, he needs to condense it down in a 10 to 20 minute video. I don’t think I could stand watching an hour long video of some Linux nerd talking about macOS. Maybe someone else here could do it and give comments.

I can't fathom why you'd think this was worth starting a thread for, but not summarising in the OP.

Here is a summary.

Classic Mac OS had the following (with timestamps):

• HyperCard (24:00)
• AppleScript (26:06)
• AppleTalk (29:10)
• 486 PC on a Card (30:16)
• Appearance Manager (31:39)
• Extensions & Control Panels (33:06)
• ResEdit (35:28)
• "System Folder" on any drive (37:58)
• *he has more points as well in the other parts of the video*

Basically, he is saying that modern macOS has basically none of the above mentioned features.

Thanks - so mainly the mid-to-end days of classic MacOS being more of a tweaker (ricer?) heaven.

Certainly the UI and to some extent workflow tweakability is more locked down these days. I'm sure there are young less-jaded people who are really getting into Shortcuts and doing cool stuff with it. I can't be bothered personally, but do do a lot of traditional programming on my Mac and it's still great for that.
