I love Macs, i really do.
Apple was a big part of my childhood. These amazing devices were extremely well made, and could do anything you wanted them to do! I'd play with the amazing software it shipped with or play a bunch of the free computer games at the time.
When i got my own macbook, i would end up doing tons of things with it. At first, i was pretty big into Minecraft, and i would play on servers, and even run my own! I installed mods frequently, and even made some recordings with the built in QuickTime Player!
Later on, Snow Leopard would lose a lot of support, which is frankly kinda sad. Snow leopard was pretty lean, and it had all the features you would always end up using. When i had to move on to Mavericks, i would just change things to the way they were in snow leopard. I would change the finder sidebar to the same layout it had by default (Who could find "All Files" useful?). I would remove the notifications bar, as it was taking up space compared to the much more useful spotlight tool. And i would remove launchpad from the dock.
It was pretty clear OS X was changing, it became more bloated with redundant features, while also becoming much more restrictive and losing support for a lot of features and formats that would still be pretty useful today (Native Midi support for example).
It's not all too bad, as a lot of the phenomenal design of OS X still exists in mac OS today. But apple continues, changing the software around for the worse in my opinion. It's a good thing theres tons of amazing third-party software out there for mac.
These are just many of my nitpicks. Macs are still pretty amazing, but just aren't as great as they used to be, in my opinion.
