Forget about iOS, OS X has seen more and more new technology, but the 
older underlying stuff has grown stale and some crap never worked right 
in the first place.  OS X Server is an unmitigated disaster, for 
example.  Even from a fresh install it is likely to get itself 
completely hosed in very short order.

Other problems are found with UNIX system administration.  There are 
lots of new processes (especially since 10.8) that are poorly 
documented and which can really chew up the CPU.  What are they doing?  
Why?  Who knows.

Apple needs to get their shit together and fix some underlying 
technology issues.  Perhaps they can go for a two-type release cycle - 
release the new OS with its features, and then the version following 
fixes all the shit they broke.
