I think it's gotten better, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the countless times MacOS was too stupid to recognize a file type, and absolutely rejected all attempts to tell it what it was. I almost always found a way around it, but it would sometimes take dozens of minutes of fighting with the OS; these times almost made me long for Windows.

Apple's position that users are fucking idiots may be usually justified, but they consistently violate the "... and make the uncommon possible" rule. The philosophy that the OS is always right is frustrating.
