Liquid Glass roundness is the UI equivalent of the 1996 DN-101 Ford Taurus appearance wise and the Mac Trash Can upgradeability all in one.

Select the folder, then select file in the menu and then scroll down to customize folder
I’m kinda missing the candy cane progress bar and pining for the animated Time Machine icon in the menu bar.
Erased and went back to Sequoia, mouse pointer kept disappearing and all videos where choppy and stuttered. Called Apple up and spoke to a Senior Level Advisor to have them pull logs to send it to SSE.
I have a lot of folders on my desktop and did not like the way they were all rather glaringly bold. I was very relieved when I tried appearance in system settings and chose the multicolour option to find that the default folder appearance went back to close to what it had been before. Now only the folders that are selected for particular colours are made bold. This is now a change that I really like rather than grating on me the way it did before this adjustment.
It was a reference to a number one best seller book written many many years ago titled “Who Moved My Cheese?" You might want to read it. Very informative.That's a pretty big oversimplification that suggests some people hate any change, good or bad.
Rather, some people like when their cheese is moved in a way that is a clear step up from before. Some people don't like when their cheese is moved in a way that is a clear step backwards from before.
There have been times Apple did something and it was 100% standing ovation from me, with way more positives that overshadowed few negatives (click wheel iPod, my first iPad, my 2014 MBA, my 2020 M1 MBA and M1 MPB, Mavericks OS, iOS1 to iOS6, etc.). And there are times I'm instantly overcome with unhappiness and dissatisfaction (iOS7 in any form, OS Yosemite, butterfly keyboards era, iOS26 without key Accessibility options dialed in...).
It's curious to hear "complaints by a large grouping of people" be pooh-pooh'd as "aw poor baby no likey any change."
The is the first Mac OS update I didn't jump on right away.
Reading the comments I'm glad I didn't.
Has Tim Cook jumped the shark?

It crashed my Mac Pro. I spent half a day restoring Sequoia.
What a pool of negativity MacRumors swims in! I held off till the final version on the Mac, and I have to say I rather like it. Sure as hell it isn't perfect, but that's the same with every new OS. Give it a few versions, and all the things people are complaining about will be smoothed out. What really impressed me was that 95% of my 250 apps worked perfectly Only about three or four deep reaching utilities have to be upgraded to Tahoe versions.
it's not as bad as i feared. i am using reduce transparency and the other one that outlines elements. not a fan of the super jiggly animations. but some things about the interface are a positive like better placement of common controls and some much needed customization options
I upgraded my iPhone 14 and iPad Air M2 13in. to 26 and so far...it's tolerable. My devices are snappier than before so something is different. But overall I don't really care for the new look of Liquid Glass. I have reduced transparency as much as possible, but there are still things visible and blurred behind windows and panels in the foreground---it looks bad and is distracting as if something is wrong. Except for things being snappier in response I don't see anything here that is an actual improvement over what we had before in 18. Nothing is better, just different and not obviously better.
I'm holding off upgrading my iMac to Tahoe to see how this evolves and what Apple tweaks and changes.

Same for Android OS, now stock Android looks way better than iOS. WTF is going on, what a time to be…
I guess it is early stage of Apple fall like Intel right now… holy
If the user changes the visual component out of the box, it means that the UI is ****
I hear you.
I'm looking at my desktop right now. The majority of apps are not Apple ones, and they look the same as they did prior to Tahoe. The two different styles are jarring against each other. Urghhh. But are those developers now going to put in the effort to take up Tahoe design language? I honestly doubt it.
You know what Tahoe really needs, is the ability to sync some of your settings and set up in iCloud. Control Center, Finder prefs, notifications, all that stuff. Every time I wipe and reload I have to go through the same tedious tasks to get macOS the way I want it to be - I’d love to be able to tell it to make one Mac the settings master. Would be really cool!
