That's really cool, although I don't share the feelings about macOS with the author.
People have been complaining about Apple ever since I started using Mac OS X in 2003, and of course before that as well. For each release, someone on Slashdot was complaining about it being too Windows-like, or too locked down, or the UX was just all wrong.
All in all, I feel it's been a ride well worth being a part of. Right now I'm on Mojave and to me that's probably the most ideal macOS experience I've ever seen.
I'm also on 10.14. The combination of 32-bit app support (hello Illustrator CS6 that I have a legal license for), a filesystem that trusts me and snappy-as-hell performance is all I need. I'm annoyed that some apps are starting to have 10.15 as a minimum requirement, but, honestly, I'm pretty happy.
I started in the Tiger/Leopard era (2007) and I loved the hardware and OS X. After the introduction of the iPad there was a slow and painful decline, culminating in the terrible butterfly keyboard and really buggy macOS versions. I dabbled in Linux desktops again and mostly prepared to abandon the Apple ecosystem.
The last few years Apple seems to care about the Mac again. Apple Silicon is awesome and the last two macOS versions have been stellar for me (especially on M1 CPUs). The macOS ecosystem is very exciting again.
