I've gone back and forth. I don't entirely regret running Big Sur, but it really doesn't offer any advantages to me. It's seemed more or less stable although I've had intermittent issues with Facetime not connecting to older devices.

I've become more annoyed trying to develop on it though, and outside of iOS, I do my development mainly on Linux now.

My XS is running noticeably slower upon upgrading.

Big Sur was a huge speedup on my 2016 touchbar MBP.

It has some big issues (first hand). Avoid for a while if you do mission/life critical work on your phone. As for some of the devs saying it is great, many of them have crappy apps. The top devs like Rambo are tweeting to avoid.

Who or what sanctioning body determines who is a “top dev”.

I’m using it on my phone, have been for a bit, and have had no issues. Zero. I must be reachable at all times. So whoever Rambo is, is wrong.
