50 New macOS Tahoe Features and Changes Worth Checking Out

ArtRev said:
  • Finder Sidebar regression – in Sequoia and earlier, I could pin network shares and reconnect with one click. Now? The sidebar only shows currently mounted volumes. If it’s disconnected, you get an error. Something that used to take one click now takes four. That’s not progress, that’s sabotage.
  • Network service order ignored – Ethernet is prioritized over Wi-Fi in System Settings, yet volumes often mount via Wi-Fi at startup. This is absurd in professional environments where NAS bandwidth and stability are critical.
  • Wacom tablets broken – clicks register visually, but nothing happens in parts of the UI (System Settings, notifications, even Calculator). Same drivers, same hardware, works flawlessly in Sequoia. In Tahoe it’s broken. That’s on Apple.
Instead of fixing these core issues, we’re handed shiny distractions: rounded window corners (which look awful on desktop monitors and don’t even match the physical screen shape), new emojis, little “waterfall” gimmicks. Nice on iPhones maybe, but on a workstation? Pointless at best, insulting at worst.

Perhaps you could send some feedback to Apple or contact support and detail why these changes are an issue for you. You could always roll back to the previous version of macOS as well (you do have a backup, right?).

If you depend on certain features for your work and they are mission-critical for you, I would suggest only installing the latest version of macOS on a test machine and make sure it doesn't "break" your workflow before you upgrade.

Of course, this is on a test machine, but the fact remains that Apple broke something and didn't fix anything - see mounting disks and network resources after returning from sleep mode.

For example, Command + Spacebar + 2 takes you straight to a Files search.

I am happy they realised the two-step approach (command+space then command+2) was not that smart but this is simply not easy to do with one hand and the two step way might be less problematic in the end

See my original post. Looks like your browser translated my post into a different language, which you then reposted. No biggie, just a curiosity.

The switch from Launchpad, where user could bucketize apps as is the MO on iOS, to a huge list via "APPS" is THE WORST! I know what I wanted via the icon and location in Launchpad, now I scroll. The other add ons are just filler.
 
The ability to kick apps out of your menu bar is huge! There’s plenty of awful apps that don’t have a setting to disable their menu bar icon

In macOS Tahoe, the Liquid Glass design overhaul makes the menu bar look less like a bar than ever because there's no longer a visible background to it. If you dislike the appearance of menu items floating at the top of your desktop, go to System Settings ➝ Menu Bar, then toggle on the switch next to "Show menu bar background."

THANK GOODNESS. This has been doing my head in.
