When I started reading it, I came across this:

> “Since this was a professional product, they knew the quality had to be high.”

I sighed heavily because instead we got Photos.app. Which is just bad and sad.

But then I continued to read about all the management screwups and development hell. And I now I know exactly why Photos.app is such a disaster.




Photos is amazing. Not sure when you’ve last used it.


I use it at least once a week and there are a lot of places where it could be improved when it comes to stability or making you feel like it's a safe place to store your pictures.

I always run into this issue and I'm not alone, some people put their libraries in disk images just so they can properly eject their external disks: https://annoying.technology/posts/ebd70c6c5715bcd8/

Not to mention that in the time it takes it to sync photos Google Photos can upload a few Instagrams worth of media.


Until you want to add keywords...

But you're right otherwise.
