I’m still on Sequoia because of all the Tahoe complaints. Not so much the rounded corners, but I heard performance was poor. Have updates to Tahoe improved things?
I’m on an M1 Max device and the GPU performance drops have not gotten back to Sequoia levels on Tahoe patches. Golden Gate hasn’t changed anything either.
This is also what's annoying with most model generated artifacts. They want every bullet point with an emoji. Even worse is an HTML artifact will be littered with chips/pill style "informative" boxes. So much useless distraction. I need something fine tuned by Tufte
It was death by a thousand cuts. I am not a designer and Tahoe bothered me enough that, after trying it at work, I've been actively stopping my personal Mac to update, and it was a factor in moving to android.
You have to make accommodation for designers, that's simply their language. If something is misaligned by 1 pixel, it's not an annoyance, it's a catastrophe.
The icons were bad, but the real issue with the new theme is the waste of space and wasting time computing transparencies.
You'd think they'd go the other direction and remove the text.
I installed VLC on my phone, and I couldn't figure anything out, because it was covered in vague post-skeuomorphic icons without text.

They toned down the effects in Golden Gate but the backend is doing the same amount of work to blend all that pointless stuff in.
You'd get the performance back if they gave up on the translucently to the point of removing the code.
Aw. I may have been the only one, but I kind of liked those.
good - I have resorted to a config setting to suppress these bad icons on Tahoe
Can you share it?
In terminal:
defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool false
"But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars"

Meh - these icons were bad, but I don't see the disaster
