OSX was pretty buggy at the beginning. Once Snow Leopard arrived things improved significantly. Stability was probably the most significant change. I ran one computer over a year without rebooting. Another went almost a year without rebooting. Now I’m lucky to get two weeks. It was also a time when Apple was still deeply committed to a UI that was efficient and orderly. Now, thanks to Ives, we have a mess and Apple keeps doubling down on it. So I do miss the Snow Leopard days but I think things will get far worse before they get better. Once we are all running IOS Apple will have the locked down interface they seem to want.
Yeah the uptime was almost legendary back then, that was the "functional high ground" of largely just working.
