Growing increasingly frustrated with the Apple mail client's seemingly unfixable inability to search for emails I just read, I made the switch to MailMate, a good old-fashioned Mac OS X-style app with a lot of useful features, good performance, and, most importantly, working search. Of course, ANU in their infinite wisdom have not seen fit to bless MailMate as an allowed client on their OAuth server, but this is nothing that a little davmail can't fix...
In general, the quality of software on the Mac is getting worse, primarily because a large amount of it isn't even for the Mac (and secondarily because Apple themselves are enshittifying their software and their design guidelines). I'm tired of running 18 instances of Chromium to do basic tasks. This is why I continue to use Nova, TextMate, MailMate, etc. I would use Orion too, except for its jankiness and poor performance compared to Zen. The other major motivation is my aversion to the dreaded bots and those who use them, which is why I moved away from ghostty and to alacritty lately, although I'd welcome suggestions there.
