I've seen a lot of threads discussing the quality of Apple products in recent times, but no polls or any clear consensus from searching the forums that I found, so I figured it might be helpful to do a poll. I'm wondering if it's all anecdotal or if there is a clear downward trend in quality, and whether it's across the board or generally focused on certain products. (Hence the multiple choice options for the poll).

In my case High Sierra has been a nightmare, so my experience on the MacBook has clearly declined for me. But I also have an iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad. With the exception of iCloud related services (such as the persistent "out of order" messages bug, and the stunningly awful App Store update), my experience has been much better or about the same on these devices, so for my poll answers, I have seen a noticeable decline with MacBook and iCloud.
