In macOS 13, the system settings was rewritten to use SwiftUI instead of UIKit. I had a 2019 Intel MBP. Before the rewrite, it was super swift (sorry). After the rewrite it took almost a second to go from section to section.
Now I'm on an M2 machine so it's fast again. Congrats Apple.
LOL have you used Xcode lately? It's painfully slow, and getting worse.
Apple engineers use all of the same crappy Apple software that we all do. The problem is that Apple executives have decided they don't care and are unwilling to invest the time and resources in performance optimization or good design. The relentless yearly update cycle will continue until morale improves. Steve Jobs is gone not only physically but also in spirit. It's Tim Apple now.
Honestly though, the problem with XCode for me is 90% that the autocomplete is just enormously stupid (they need to just ask JetBrains how to do it), and that Swift compilation is slow (which they are working on).
I do remember.

It's Xcode, not XCode.
Anyway, Jobs took a 6 month leave of absence starting January 2009, during which he got a liver transplant, and another leave of absence starting January 2011, after which he finally resigned.
Xcode 4 was released in March 2011, although it had been in development for some time before that. I wouldn't really say that its "enshittification" was "well on its way."
