As much as I'd LIKE to believe this is an intelligent move, history leaves me doubtful. Simplicity is always best, not just aesthetically, but from an engineering perspective. But Ive seems to be pissing on Jobs' aesthetics. When you use one overly complex tool to create three separate overly complex tools, chances are that NONE will work correctly. And with NO other compelling reason to upgrade to Catalina, it's looking like this is yet another disastrous marketing 'gimmick'.
I just upgraded my various Macs, so I'll sit the next few updates out. IF these tools prove to be wonderfully successful, I'll gladly upgrade, but I'm guessing it'll instead be incredibly painful. Besides, there ARE alternatives to iTunes (which ISN'T going away anyway).
You sure? Anyone who has stuck with iTunes since the beginning has admitted how much of a mess they say it is the more it tried to expand on being a library of content along with how it reacted to devices plugged in. I'd say this is for the best. We're okay with books, App Store, and iTunes being seperate as they seem now. I'd like to experience these now seperate apps myself. Not to sway you from your opinion, but just a thought I'd share and maybe clear this up.
