On the new icon, I see a "smiley face", and if I concentrate a little, there's a "guy in the background".
I like the newer icon.
And, to be fair, this is the most thought I've ever put into it. So, there's that as well to consider.
* Brilliant artists use Apple.
* Apple computers help you see from multiple perspectives.
But now that Apple is more in the business of selling bling to strippers and drug dealers, and less in the business of selling gear to creative professionals, sticking to its aesthetic identity is way less important. Not when there are concerns like "blowing up on TikTok" to worry about.
I wish it would break history and let Spotlight and show me the path for the file it has found. Is it 2023/accounts.xlsx or 2024/accounts.xlsx or 2025/accounts.xlsx? Who knows!
If they really want to improve MacOS they should add synonym based search in Settings. I should not be forced to know by heart the arcane speech their marketing department chose to replace consecrated terms. Just today it took me 5 minutes to unearth the Speech Rate settings. It feels like using Siri and not knowing the magic words. Come on Apple, synonym matching is easy. Just use a LLM to generate synonyms to all t…

(Because, yes, I feel your pain.)
FTA: “The Finder logo has changed over the years, but the dark side has been on the left forever.” So, ‘forever’, they subtly associated left-handedness with the dark side? About time that they changed that ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_against_left-handed_peopl... ) :-)
Left handedness is sinister.

In the interest of being more constructive and adding to the discourse however, I will mention that the UX of things should increase as design frameworks should age. Are there quantifiable UX metrics that can be used (even if somewhat qualitative in nature) to judge whether a new design is a regression or not? Is it just AB testing?
