macOS Ventura

Sorry to hear some folks are having a hard time with Ventura. I haven't had a single issue, and Stage Manager has changed my life. Epic update for me.
 
Likewise, minor graphical glitches here and there, but I haven't had anything go tits up on me at all.

I do not get stage manager, at all.

Same.

Also why the hell they needed to **** with System Preferences.

But otherwise no issues at all.

Stage manager is a solution in search of a problem.

I don't mind the changes to system preferences that much because I always just searched for what I was looking for anyway.

Yeah, I have issues with pop-ups in outlook bombing stage manager out. I have to close and reopen it, otherwise it's unresponsive.

I'm rethinking this since I noticed this morning that they've removed the ability to create new network locations without using Terminal.

It's just faster app switching. Instead of hitting a tiny icon you get a huge hit box in a much more convenient location (and with a visual preview of the app), and only in spaces where it's convenient to do so. It's phenomenal imo when working with a single display area.

I don't see how it's faster than say the cmd+tab app switcher or swiping up for mission control. Plus neither of those eat up 10% of my screen real-estate.

The spaces where I'm using Stage Manager aren't running any apps that need all available screen space. I can pack a ton of stuff like Discord, Slack, Notion, Canary, Notes, Messages, Telegram etc. into a single space and use Stage Manager to switch between them in a really pleasant and quick manner. And it doesn't impact the space that is just my web browser full screen, or the next space over which is my software development stuff. I don't want to be tabbing between a gazillion icons across the entire system.

Different strokes. I run almost all of my app windows maximised so that 10% SM eats is wasteful. CMD+Tab just works.

One dock like app is enough - if I need a specific app then it's already waiting there waiting for me.

In fairness it’s been years since I needed it.

People don’t use static IP’s and such any more which made it a requirement.

Oddly something Windows always lacked.

What do you need it for?

Same, most everything is running maximised or split into 2 or 3 taking over the whole screen.

Stage Manager just feels like a waste for that reason.

I can’t stand MacOS’s fullscreen mode. Why on earth it has to lock out features is beyond me. I would have loved it if I could simply have a keyboard shortcut to split things left and right and also if it didn’t make a space of every fullscreen window which I then “lose” all the time.

The only two apps I can run fullscreen without them looking silly imo are Firefox and VS Code. Do you have a small monitor or something?

Yes, I work on a laptop screen but I do a lot of image work. Photos, videos, graphics, etc are all easier to work on the bigger they are, regardless of how big the actual screen is.
