> Curious what other folks are feeling. A lot of these tools seem like useless frivolity.

Something I have long said when talking about operating systems is that I consider them tool boxes. The same kind of tool box a carpenter would have.

I don't "use" the OS per se. I use the OS to hold my tools in a manner that makes it easy for me to access them.

So, it's like a carpenter's toolbox where he carries around his saw, hammer etc. and can easily grab them when he needs them. He doesn't need to hear about Hammer v2.0 AI-edition or any of that shit!

I don't need my toolbox doing anything other than holding my tools and fucking right off out of my way!
