> The "actively regressing" part I can only presume is a jab at Maps - which honestly is a huge capability regression for the end user.
Here I can finally have detailed, reliable and readable traffic information. Google Maps one was hard to read, and often simply wrong, while now I get much better coverage in all of time, space, and information (not only traffic jams but road work and accidents). Also now the official city's app for transit will be able to plug itself into Maps.app. I'm still looking into what I have lost.
Now, if you're willing to talk about the iTunes Match mess that came to be in Music.app, well yes, this is a huge regression. For those that missed it, Match is now stream+cache, and optionally download — really, force cache — whole albums, and can't delete anything except by obliterating the whole music library at once, or disabling Match. Previously it was brilliant and missed just the ability to stream without downloading. Now I might just as well stick with Spotify.
