I used to have a fondness for OSX because it felt more “quiet” and “polite” than windows, the beginning of the end of Mac feeling that was was around when they stopped naming OS versions after big cats.
Now that you mention it, that really does check out. In my opinion it started going downhill around 10.6 or so. It used to be fairly lean and everything felt like it was put together with thought behind it. Then they just started adding random crap nobody asked for, while making the whole thing bloated and unstable.
