The most frustrating thing with SIP was that I’d always butt up against it at the most inopportune moments: deep in a rabbithole of diagnosing some unusual issue, I’d finally have everything running and set up just right to reproduce it, realize I needed to trace a specific process or something, only to have the system tell me I wasn’t allowed to.
Perfect timing to have to restart the computer and wait while it slowly boots into recovery, then remember where I left off and recreate my environment.
The continuing iOS-ification of MacOS really drove me away from using it as my main computer, despite having been a lifelong Mac user. I still have a Macbook Air, but for any real work it’s just a thin client to my Linux desktop.
