Well, unfortunately, it seems that the majority of macOS 26 users have absolutely no taste or eye for graphically refined things.

@phranck @nuintari I chose "I am tolerating" simply because I have to use 26. I hate it though. Awful UI "design".

@josh @nuintari You "have to use" it?

@josh @phranck This seems common, "I need security updates, so I got an awful UI/UX."

@phranck @nuintari Yes. Software engineer, writing iOS / macOS apps that must at least work properly on if not directly target a minimum of 26. We don't all have the choice to tell an employer no.

@nuintari @phranck That too.

@josh @nuintari Okay... in that case, I'm always the one who volunteers: "I'll stay on the old OS so I can test it there."

@phranck I think the message from the comments and the poll results is fairly clear. Liquid Glass is more about eye candy than functionality, and people want functionality first.

I'm not an Apple user, largely because I find their UI/UX to be intolerably intrusive, so my opinion counts for very little. But I was genuinely curious what the numbers would show.

This is my idea of a usable, and quite lovely UI/UX:

@phranck Tolerating does not mean liking. I have to use Apple devices to do my job, and using the most recent version is unfortunately mandatory. Therefore, I have to tolerate Liquid Glass. Personally, I hate the design changes Apple forced on their customers.
