My major issue with the ecosystem is that increased integration with content providers, via the App Store and the iTunes Store, has greatly reduced the usability and customizability of iTunes. iTunes 12 isn't as useful as iTunes 11, which isn't as useful as iTunes 8, etc., etc.

And, iCloud integration makes it all worse. Purchased content sometimes disappears into the Cloud, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, my purchased copy of Zero Dark Thirty exists on my iPad - and nowhere else. Not in iTunes, not in my backup folders, not in the Cloud, and not as an available download.

There was a time, around Snow Leopard 10.6.8, where everything about my network and my various clients "just worked". This is no longer true, and that's a shame.

The user interface over the OS X Public Beta to Yosemite time period has not had a consistent design philosophy - from Aqua to brushed aluminum to translucent to 3D to the current kinda brutal, flat 10.10 icons - it's hard to see a guiding hand in all of that.

I've got a mid-2006 23" iMac with Snow Leopard, and it crashes CONSTANTLY.
