I just want it to work without headaches. I don't want workarounds and "turn off all of the extra nonsense" sliders. Call me an old or a Karen. But this is one reason why I picked Mac for 12+ years, and I am increasingly switching my workload to Linux. It's not a fashion accessory for me.

I am willing to learn the new features. But half-assed widgets that get in the way, menu bar quirkiness, losing finder menu settings, and more are increasingly common.

For me, the worst issue is the low-contrast these days between the window chrome (toolbar etc) and the main window content, plus the reduction in shadiowing. This came in - when? Two or three major releases ago?

Every day, with overlapping windows, I try to select the top of a window, only to find that I have selected a window above and behind, Drives me nuts.

There is an 'increase contrast' option accessibility. but that might as well be called 'make everything deliberately butt ugly'.

I didn't really realise how bad it is until I was using my wife's old Mac, and was amazed how easy it was to manage windows.
