@adacosta I do agree to a degree. What we have now is probably more stable, but I just don't enjoy looking at any of it, unlike the 2000s Aqua interfaces.
I've got to pick on the notion that 11 got better over time... on my personal Mac, I moved directly from Big Sur to Sequoia and on my work Mac sequentially, and I cannot for the life of me name a single UI improvement that happened in the intervening years.
But I can certainly name a regression, and that's System Settings.

@tuomas_h I honestly don't see anything particularly productive about System Preferences vs Settings today. I still had to use spotlight search to find whatever function I was looking for buried under submenus and dialogs. So, thats not a great example. And if we are gonna go hard on the UI, the pinstripe design from 10.0 to 10.2 was jarring for many or brush metal Finder, 3D Dock etc. #macOS has always had polarizing design decisions throughout its history and Tahoe is no different.
