> But what about security? Are you sure you want to stay on an older version of Mac OS? — Thankfully I’m tech-savvy enough to know what I’m doing.
It's hard to be more misinformed. Ventura fixes 66 CVEs. Monterey 12.6.1, released simultaneously, fixes 3. This is typical for Apple.[0] You are not secure unless you are running the latest public version, period.
Don't like Stage Manager? Don't use it.
And the move to System Settings is just a way to make the Mac easier for brand new Mac users, who are more likely used to iOS Settings.
Far from promoting eye-candy, they've kept building in powerful social, collaboration and productivity features, like SharePlay (Monterey), scheduled send in Mail, Shared Tab Groups in Safari, iPhone-as-webcam, and Freeform. I still have misgivings about Apple Music and Books being buggy, but you can't say they're ignoring pro users.
