I found no useful features in Ventura but between XCode 14.2 and 14.3 Apple fucked everyone over again and forced us to use Ventura if we want 14.3, and meanwhile made it so that you couldn't debug iOS 16.4.1 devices on XCode 14.2, so suddenly there is an horrific locked-in upgrade forced for developers. I can't stress it enough - I just can't explain, as a developer, how it can possibly be as bad as it is. The weather app's window resize is so choppy it could probably be measured in seconds per frame instead of frames per second on older hardware, and it is bewildering that Safari can render much more complex weather web UIs and resize them fluidly on the same machine again, everything in SwiftUI is just incomprehensible slow. The new printing UI is conceptually cool with its page thumbnails on the left but again it is glacially slow and riddled with bugs, and the endless wells of grey and stupid tiny iOS-like toggles are just a cluttered eyesore. ![]() Other SwiftUI parts are similarly buggy and ugly. The whole thing is a total incompetent shitshow. Some parts are so crude it beggars belief - I have to manually change time zone for software testing now and again, and the old world map where you just click and it's done has been replaced by - boring grey table rows with a drop down menu you have to figure out via text, rather than just using the visual map. System Settings is - and I make no subjective statements about preference of new vs old layout or organisation here - objectively glacially slow and very buggy. WindowServer still uses more CPU doing the same thing as Monterey but it isn't dramatically more like it was pre-13.2-ish there are still some bad memory leaks reported by users though. ![]() It is definitely slower, though most of the major performance regressions have been fixed. Since Ventura adds code and is a newer OS, it stands the greater chance of having more unpatched vulnerabilities - both those common to itself and Monterey, plus those introduced by new code. All security fixes in Ventura are also fixed in Monterey.
