Inspecting Web Views in macOS
Definitely every one of these is sluggish at best on a very modern machine but they are also full of UI annoyances.  God I am so tired of little spinners for things that would have displayed instantaneously on ten-year-old hardware with previous UI designs.<p>I’m also <i>really</i> tired of things that pretend to be single apps but every other thing you click on will jerk you into an entirely DIFFERENT app.  Oh, a sidebar: logically, clicking any item on the side should always update the right-hand side, right?  Nope: some of the items you click on might update the right-hand side (after displaying a stupid spinner of course); others will hurl you into the App Store app and slide in some un-Mac-like UI to display 3 pieces of information (usually with truncation that can’t be fixed in a view that can’t be resized); still others might just open a web page (one that only works in Safari of course, because to hell with your browser preferences).<p>Why is any of this crap necessary?  It’s perfectly clear that Apple just doesn’t care <i>at all</i> anymore about making nice, smooth, usable experiences.  More than that, they don’t seem to even know how their own desktop platform has traditionally behaved.  But even if they <i>did</i> want to change <i>how</i> things behave, why are so many things behaving <i>differently</i>?  It is a complete mess and they should be embarrassed.  No leadership <i>AT ALL</i> on the UI front.
