Yep. Instead of just working while looking nice Tahoe looks like an adolescent crying out “Look at me! Look at me!”

Accidentally downgraded slow Tahoe, big relief

Same here.
M4 Pro MBP is still only a few months since I bought it, Tahoe is a smooth install for me.
I downgraded from 26.1 DB4 to Sequoia and my 16" MBP (M1 Pro 32GB of RAM) runs like dream again.
Simple UI animations like opening the notification center, switching apps with mission control etc... stutters like crazy on Tahoe. I didn't pay extra for the 120hz screen to deserve that experience.
I even re-installed Tahoe clean to see if it was an isolated issue with some apps but nope.
I just can't understand people with the same hardware saying they have no issue...

I noticed last night on the full release of 26.1 that it seems somewhat improved, but I haven't been able to test fully as I don't work on that machine.
However, I did notice, to your point, that scrolling on Tahoe 26.1 on Safari with on the M2 w/24GB RAM Air is still a bit stuttery at times, independent of not having 120hz.
This puts into works what I was thinking. That Sequoia does indeed feel more like the polished Pro OS.
