I wish they'd go back to their brief pattern of alternating feature releases with stability & performance releases. Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion were rock solid releases.
So was Tiger before that
MacOS 14 didn't really add any new features. There are widgets on the desktop and... that's about it. You don't have to use widgets if you're worried they might be buggy.
Safari and some other system apps added some stuff, but those aren't really part of the operating system.
Apple is the most profitable tech company in the world, they should be able to get more talent to allocate to work on both stability and new features, is not like they’re a small startup short on money.
I think you need to read The Mythical Man-Month. 9 women can’t make a baby in one month.
And don’t forget Mac OS X was on two-year release cycles at that time. They spent two full years on bug fixes only, no features!
