I dream of bug fixes for Mavericks. I want bug fixes for Mojave. I'll accept bug fixes for Sequoia.

I chose something else. I’d like Sequoia’s UI plus aggressive OS development work to fix everything everywhere so that “it just works.”

I want Leopard UI with tabs and a dark mode toggle on top of the modern macOS structure on AS. It's not going to happen, but it's what I want.
That being said, I probably will dual boot macOS GG with Sequoia on my AS macs.

Golden Gate looks good. From where I'm sitting, it looks like bug fixes, performance improvements, fixing a lot of the UI gaffes from Tahoe, and Siri AI. The latter I can ignore, and the other things are all great. If were just left with Tahoe, I doubt that they'd be fixing the UI.

Golden Gate looks like what Apple should've released for Tahoe. They forced through a low quality, unpolished update that barely addressed any of the feedback they wanted because keeping to a yearly schedule was more important to them than quality. That's frustrating!
So I'm glad they actually listened because I was afraid they wouldn't even do that, but I also think this is what Tahoe should've been. I guess I'm a mixture of both options

Man, I should stop posting when I'm so exhausted!
Despite my... emphatic reply, I think that while I would hate to go back to old interface styles, there should be a limited theming system available, since it is clearly impossible to please everyone! Let the user choose from different eras! It'd be a bit of work to set up, but that wouldn't be a big deal for Apple!

I’ve been wanting that for windows for a long time. Some of my clients want XP, some want Windows 7, some want to stay with Windows 10.

I'm looking forward to the redesigned interface. It looks good so far.

I'm the same but after moving to MacOS a couple of months ago after about 35 years of using a Windows PC I really do notice all of the bugs in macOS Tahoe.
Within the first couple of hours of unboxing my brand new first ever Mac (am M5 Pro MacBook Pro) I encountered more bugs in Tahoe than I did in maybe the last 2 or 3 years of Windows use and I still encounter new bugs now - mostly glitches in some built-in app where I need to quit and re-open the app to get it working properly again - but I never got that sort of stuff in Windows.
Apple really does have a lot of work to do to go from the current state of Tahoe to the image that Apple tries to project of "it just works". I really do think that the weak point in the whole Apple story right now is the quality of its higher-level application software. I love the hardware, I'm really impressed with the lower level kernel engineering based on how smoothly things run when they are not glitching out and how speedily things load (I suspect a lot of that is down to the quality of MacOS virtual memory management) but those higher-level user-facing apps really need some work.
Sounds like you’re in the “just give me bug fixes” camp.
Apple has been releasing a new OS-X every year. But once, when Jobs was still alive, they released Snow Leopard: No new features, just bug fixes. It was awesome. Many are saying that Golden Gate will be mostly bug fixes, which would be great.

I want a new OS with Yosemite-Catalina era UI and 32bit translation capability, without wasting any storage on forced AI or universal architecture.
But I'll take GG over Sequoia and Tahoe because I'm tired of Big Sur's UI, and Tahoe clearly needs refinements that GG brings.

In the not-too-distant future, UI will be different for each user. UI is not something that needs to be the same anymore. You will not need a zillion menus and buried functions; you will never need to look for that setting you can never find.
UI will be what you need at the time, which could depend on your current project or work. If something is needed, you just ask.
Some say UI will completely go away...I don't think that's happening soon, but different UI for different workflows? Would be simple, and the worry of a user messing things up or not knowing where something is? Completely fixed with the ability to ask the AI. Siri, change my UI to Sequoia, that would be cool and doable.
