So far in the last year or so, I've heard 0 reasons why I'd even need, want or benefit from Win11 over Win10. Tons of reasons in the negative column though. There isn't even anything to salivate over that might make you think it might be worth it to deal with the other tradeoffs. Hard pass.

I've been using Win11 now for about a week (so take this with a grain of salt) and one positive I've noticed has been a far better UX. OSX has made a ton of leaps and bounds for optimizing controls for how you use your computer, and it felt like windows 10 was lagging behind quite a bit in the last year. Windows 11 addressed a lot of these grievances.

Browser overrides like this are definitely in the negative UX column, but better bluetooth controls, a new consolidated settings panel, and smoother window management are all positives for me. FWIW I haven't hit a situation where I've been forced into edge (yet).

Would you mind outlining specifics? All I see are the current tends of tabletization continuing.

UX Things I've liked about this upgrade cycle on my desktop setup:

- More snap zones and ways to trigger snap

- Snap zones can be pulled up or switched to as a group

- More things moved in the Settings app

- Settings app is now uses a more traditional left pane navigation instead of a list of large boxes for touch

- Window layouts better remember and adapt to monitor changes (such as unplugging from an TV)

- AutoHDR

- Separate wallpapers to different virtual desktops (makes remembering where you are easier)

- Defaults to the new Windows Terminal

Some of the other changes (mica, new start menu, new context menu, rounded window look, new themes, taskbar tray area changes, variable Segoe UI, new Store, widgets) I'd call a wash. They are there and changed but overall I can't say any have been particularly noticeable or helpful like the above items.
