Mac OS X is fine, that would be snow leopard for example =)

macOS on the other hand, is getting worse, I can definitely concur that spotlight is getting more and more useless. Time Machine as well. It mostly doesn’t work for me, always breaking, hanging…

You can be happy until you're hitting a bug that severely impedes your workflow. And then you might feel annoyed when they refuse to fix it for years, and there's no recourse because it's closed software.

Generally I am pretty happy with macOS and I still believe it to be the best option for a desktop. Where I'm getting frustrated is the increase locked down nature of the OS. I get that it's for security, and that's fine for my dad, but it's starting to get in the way of me down my work.

So when you already start feeling like the operation system is preventing you from doing the things you need to do, then all the small cosmetic flaws seems more in your face.
