Yes a lot of people feel that Catalina has made their machine slower. Once they've finished smashing macOS and iOS into a single platform, it'll be interesting to see how they address their developer's needs. I'm also less likely to consider iOS development if my main desktop machine is Linux (or Windows) and can't easily do iOS development.Īpple is heading down a slippery slope where they are (incorrectly) assuming that their users are technically inept consumers that need training wheels and sandboxes at every turn. If I'm not able to use a Mac for my day to day engineering work, I don't get the advantages of tight integration with iOS, so I don't need/want those features on my phone. That has a halo effect that will impact the iOS ecosystem, too. The changes that Catalina portends very likely mean that a lot of people who rely on Macs as engineering platforms will ultimately have to move off macOS and onto some flavor of Linux if they want to retain the ability to work and use their computers as they require. So any updated needs to be completely opt-in and under control of the user.Īpple has never really understood that there are some users of their machines that do not want or need their supervision to use them successfully. Apple has a long history of breaking changes in O/S updates, and to force them on a user base that depends on their desktop machines for mission critical applications borders on irresponsible. It's not an either/or decision, contrary to how Apple chose to implement it in Catalina.Īnd it's completely offensive at a fundamental level to have forced updates. No, I'd prefer to have the option to develop/install non-sandboxed apps.

If you upgraded to Catalina versus using a new/fresh install, perhaps you could try a clean install to see if that helps with your experience at all? Granted, my MBP is practically on fire and I can’t hear a bloody thing because of the fans.Īnyhow, the point being that out of the gate, Catalina is definitely not one of Apple’s finest releases but I do feel like it may be improving.

I run these as full screen spaces and simply swipe between them and it all feels pretty seamless. I’ve also got a Windows 8 virtual machine through Parallels and can output 3D renders in a Windows app while I’m designing in Adobe CC on the OS X side. I can have a ton of resource hungry applications running at the same time and it doesn’t feel like the machine gets bogged down. I’ve installed High Sierra via a Parallels virtual machine to access my old 32-bit only apps and can say that this is where the performance of the new machine shines.

However, 6 months later and with several software and OS updates, things are starting to improve.
I attribute a lot of that to Catalina just being more sluggish and buggy as well as certain key daily apps crashing more often in the new OS (looking at you Adobe).
I can honestly say that when I first started using the new computer back in November, I wasn’t at all impressed with the performance boost (or lack thereof). I came from maxed out MBP 15” Mid-2014 running El Capitan. I’ve got a MBP 16” fully maxed except for the 4TB drive.
