1) The "0 New Features" Mac OS X 10.6.0 came 22 months after 10.5.0, not 12 months
2) 10.6.0 included significant under-the-hood improvements but also brought some truly nasty new bugs and was significantly buggier than 10.5.8, released a few weeks prior
3) 10.6 received 23 months of subsequent minor bug fix updates, up to 10.6.8 v1.1
We'd need two Snow Leopards in a row just to match Snow Leopard purely in development time, but now there's a lot more preexisting technical debt built up after well over a decade of annual major releases.
I hope they invest some time in macOS, gosh it's become a right mess over the last 3-5 major releases - Tahoe is the worst of the bunch.
I'm still calling it liquid ass. The glass theme just makes things difficult to read for the sake of fashion.

Good.
Mac OS has become a richly productive bug farm, lately.
I wonder if they'll ever get around to actually reading their bug reports, though...
“Snow Leopard”, the original OSX release that focused under the hood, returns. I’m glad to hear it.
Yup. Many folks think Snow Leopard was the bestest release ever.
I sure hope that is true.
