Hi all,

I'm spending a foolish amount of time dealing with what seems to be unreliable 
Apple software, such as

* Time Machine corrupting backups, and needing backups to be deleted and remade 
[1].

* Safari crashing pretty often [2].

* Errors when backing up my iPhone requiring me to throw out old backups to get 
iTunes to cooperate. [3]

* Calendar.app screwing up entries if it decides to sync with iCloud while an 
entry is being edited. [4]

* Chasing changes to unix behavior on updating to Sierra. [5]

More and more, I get the bad feeling I'm using an old version of MS Word or MS 
Windows.

Is anyone else getting this feeling that either Apple's QA department has been 
fired or their software has become such a collection of patches that it cannot 
be properly debugged anymore? Am I just the lucky recipient of a bad series of 
coincidences?

[1] Defeating the purpose of incremental backups.

[2] The crash I had reported here (crashing at weather.gov) kept recurring at 
random times and different sites. I reported it and got a 'duplicate bug' 
answer... but no resolution for two months now.

[3] Once again defeating the purpose of backing up.

[4] A very long-standing bug (over 3 years). 

[5] Specifically ssh
