The good

• Window tiling is good!
• Small but useful changes to most apps that don’t break anything that was already working.
• Compatible with most of the same systems as macOS Sonoma was last year.

The bad

• Apple Intelligence is the tentpole feature, and none of it is ready yet.
• Somewhat significant disk usage increase.
• Window tiling isn’t as flexible as it is in Windows 11.

The ugly

• Drops 2018/2019 MacBook Air for no great reason. Sure, the processor is slow, but it was also slow last year, and it did have an Apple T2.
