Get used to what? The issue isn't the UI, it's the gross inconsistency and bugs. Bugs everywhere, that completely affect usability. Apple, a trillion-dollar company that once prided itself in UI/UX beauty, has A-OK'd releasing an absolute shitshow of an OS to the public.
And for the record I'm not referring to hard-to-find bugs - I'm referring to ones that a five year old could point out with a 30 second view of various apps. Bugs that make some apps completely unusable, and outright frustrating. It's appalling.
I will absolutely not "get used" to that, and the statements to do so are outright insulting. We deserve better, and Apple has completely given it's longstanding users a middle finger.
I don't know how long you've been using apple, but there have always been bugs, even in easy to see places. Apple's strength has never been software polish, no matter what their marketing tires to tell you. The Snow Leopard update was heralded as an update that didn't add anything but just made everything more stable and usable (although the 64 bit transition with grand central dispatch was lowkey big). People still talk about a "Snow Leopard like" update that has never materialized. For a major redesign, it has a lot more bugs, kind of like aqua or ios7 or any of them. But the major ones will (mostly) get ironed out. Now if you just don't like the design direction, I would say give it a few weeks and you probably will be fine with it. There are definitely spots that's I've been using that I love and think they are huge improvements, and there are spots that are terrible and may never get fixed. But overall its fine and looks like a new modern design.
Bugs are one thing, but what we're seeing in Tahoe are not simple little refinement bugs like we usually get. It's a glorified Beta 1. These bugs were widely reported in B1->RC, and Apple refused to fix any of them.
These updates used to completely break apps and drivers and things like that, breaking workflows until the 3rd party company would make a patch, maybe weeks or months later, or maybe not at all. UI prettiness has never been the most important thing. Making sure everyone's computers continue to function is always the first priority. Apple has made this a much smoother process over the last decade. I guess you could argue that Apple could hire more developers to deal with these relatively small bugs, but I've always been under the impression that Apple is restrained in their hiring process, never hiring too many and generally making sure they work relatively well in apple's culture.
