People have been hating on the new System Settings app (a messy redesign that violates Apple's own design guidelines) and how almost every other enhancement is really minor.
However, I've really enjoyed Ventura, because of the following (non-exhaustive list):
* As a Mac admin: enterprise managed updates actually work compared to Monterey!
* As a Mac developer: SwiftUI graphics rendering is significantly faster, closing in on AppKit levels of performance with no changes required!
As a regular user:
* A battery life leak that I noticed with Monterey 12.6.1 was fixed and my battery life became much better
* The Weather app is absolutely amazing
* Live Text is even better than before
One issue that's been irking me is that I've had a lot more accidental Siri triggers while talking to other people, and even while watching movies and videos through the speakers. I'm going to re-do the Hey Siri set up to see if it fixes the issue.
