Short answer: I'm definitely not young—I started on an Apple II in high school.
I do keep my software current and pay attention to things. I lived through 68000 -> PowerPC -> Intel, so I know how this goes.
I've been running Catalina since the late betas and haven't experienced the issues others have, other than my old Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad not working with Catalina, which is kinda annoying, since I really like the extra keys, etc. instead of the Bluetooth keyboard that came with the iMac.
Know what I did?
I submitted a bug report to Apple.
There's no doubt that Catalina (and iOS 13 for that matter) are more buggy than recent past upgrades, which is not good.
I don't think it's Apple not caring; I think they're trying to do a whole lot with overlapping groups. If the rumors are true and there's a 16-inch MacBook Pro about to come out and ARM Macs will likely become a thing in 2020, I suspect a lot of engineers are juggling multiple projects across multiple groups and this is the result.
I also switched to Zsh before I upgraded so I'd have my config all set before hand. So far, so good. And thank goodness for Homebrew and how quickly it had Catalina-compatible packages ready to go.
