Uh oh I fear this means multiple desktops are on their way out.

They did list "System Settings" on the final screen during the macOS presentation, so it's coming. They just didn't talk about it in depth.

Can't wait for Ventura to brick my M1 MBP during installation... 😜

Apple seems to keep adding features that cater to small screens. How about window management features for people with big monitors? Without apps like bettertouchtool and moom I'd be lost.

They really should go back to a 2 year cycle. I’m still waiting for a reason to upgrade from Catalina. This is not it.

I am not impressed at all! Perhaps they should give the System Preferences side a little attention? When was that last update? Mountain Lion?

I’m hoping that means they worked on reliability.

The dock minimizes on a per-window basis and doesn't automatically swap windows in and out. I see Stage Manager as being a nice complement to both the Dock and Spaces to accommodate different workflows.

You know there's people that doesn't know about that feature yet, right? Some people just click and go.Stage Manager ?
I have used macOS Desktops / Spaces for year. Put diffent projects on different desktops, switch easily.
Work in multiple spaces on Mac
On your Mac, if the desktop becomes cluttered with open app windows, use Spaces to organize the windows into additional desktops.support.apple.com

I was really hoping for an overhauled Calendar app, as well as a new Music app. Mail changes didn’t go far enough either. I miss the days when OS updates meant fresh versions of the core built in apps. Now they just throw a bone every few years and let apps fall way behind. Calendar app feels downright archaic at this point

stage manager feels tacked on on mac, it feels like it should have been merged with virtual desktops somehow

Something is telling me another mandatory 'stay in home' pandemic is coming soon. Too much interest in collaboration capabilities is not coincidence.

You are right. macOS Ventura isn't as feature-packed as Monterey and Big Sur.

"For even more flexibility while you work, you can use Stage Manager with Mission Control and Spaces to arrange your windows and apps however you want to view them."
This stuff is way too complex

As @an77tong mentioned I'm not impressed either. All of these features were already basically there.

Will they ever support virtualization? I have to work with Windows using VMs. Still using 2019 Macbook Pro. Would love to upgrade.
