It’s been a strict improvement on my computers, which isn’t to say that the author isn’t having problems, just that theirs (or mine!) isn’t the universal experience.
And they’ve finally fixed some annoying, long-endured audio bugs: <a href="https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/09/24/macos-27-fixes-multiple-audio-bugs/" rel="nofollow">https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/09/24/macos-27-fixes-mul...
They surely fixed a lot of bugs, but not enough, and they added so many new stupid ones. Mission Control wasn't perfect before, but at least it wasn't buggy. Now there is a bug every two clicks.
Even double-clicking in Finder is broken, many times double-clicks are just ignored.
My favorite thing they broke is that there is no longer an animation when launching and dismissing Spotlight in its Launchpad mode (i.e 4 finger pinch on trackpad). I mean there is an animation, but it's only visible if I'm pinching slowly. If I do it at normal speed, there's just a half-second delay and then it pops in or out.
I suspect they made the animation so heavy that it reaches its deadline before it even starts, so it gets skipped.
Not sure if it's better or worse than Tahoe, where the animation (mostly) worked but app icons either popped in all at once a bit later or were rendered one by one from top-left to bottom-right.
It's such a buggy mess. When using my Mac these days I miss the polish of my Linux desktop.
