Last big macOS feature

[WebHead]

macOS 27 is arguably a maintenance release without any headline feature. So I'm wondering, what was the last big macOS feature that caught your attention and made you go "wow"?

For me it was probably iPhone Mirroring.

This is more of an Apple Silicon thing, but being able to run iOS apps on MacOS (and not in the simulator). Though not all of them actually work in practice.

For me it was when I could send/receive Messages from my Mac and the messages synced with my phone. That was super convenient and I probably compose more messages on my Mac or iPad than on my iPhone. Mirroring is neat but I never use it for anything, but did test it out a couple times.

I just went back to Snow Leopard on Wikipedia and looked up all the new things since then... these are things that made a difference for me: AirDrop, Notification Center, Password App, iCloud Drive, Dark Mode, Activation Lock, Low Power Mode.

Things I miss... Dashboard, Launchpad, iTunes, 32-bit app support.

Cool, it can be an adjunct for the iOS apps that don't work natively on macOS (as noted above)

Yes, been missing Dashboard myself lately
