As I've been using macOS since release 9 (and I do not refer to Mavericks), I consider myself relatively unbiased regarding any specific release, though I still have some kind of a nostalgic relation to 10.4. I read a semi-analytic comparison regarding bugs and overall stability a while back which I cannot find right now, arguing how Snow Leopard was far from being the holy grail OS it's now hailed to be, but rather being the comparatively last solid release till Mavericks. That said I would argue that Mojave has been a pretty solid release, though purely subjective I find High Sierra one of the most stable ones yet, and I even recommend it for machines that are artificially limited to El Capitan. I for my part have had a rough start with Catalina but ever since the last dot (10.15. And I'm sure many here agree.I find it quit amusing how the opinions differ and by which considerations and experiences those objectively subjective decisions are drawn. Well, I'm still using a Mac because I think the whole experienced is way more polished and consistent than any other Unix, or Windows. > And the kind of thing Apple itself decided it was not worth it.
In 99.9% of cases (no pun intended), case sensitivity is useless and needlessly confusing, which is why you don't use variables named buffer and Buffer in the same scope (I hope), even if you can. It seems to me that what really affects users are these nonsensical decisions taken without ease of use and ergonomics in mind. Now, if we take the example in this thread (INSTALL and install), WHY ON EARTH did the programmer think it was a great idea to do name files like that? Sure, INSTALL for a readme is a tradition in free/*nix software, but then s/he could rename the other file. Windows and OS X do it without much fanfare (which is great, consistency between the two major desktop OSes), and it works as users expect.
I don't really see these piles of kludges, honestly.
