I’ve been on the Mac since 10.2 and I don’t see what the big deal is. There are some things that are a little weird, I can only assume it will evolve, just like 10.2 did… and again with 10.10 when Ive over simplified everything. Things evolved and got better.
I have no reason to expect things won’t evolve to fix some of the quirks of the design, especially with the new design lead who has been with the company for decades. The guy behind Liquid Glass is at Meta now.
Downgrading and leaving the platform feels like an overreaction.
I hear the complaints about Tahoe but I don't fully understand. For me (and I consider myself a power user, and I've been using macOS since ... Mac OS X Jaguar. I've been through it all).
Tahoe to me is stable, the Liquid Glass doesn't get in your way either. It's pretty elegant. My machine is still insanely fast.
The other day I saw an article about not being able to resize. I can't reproduce that either, it's easy to resize windows in the corner.
What got me to go back is mostly UI and design related, but it was mostly stable. I just can't stand the new design.
And Tahoe to me felt like I was less in control of the system compared to earlier versions.

Default Tahoe is unusable but these settings work for me.
System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Reduce transparency should be on.
System Settings > Appearance > Windows > Sidebar icon size should be Medium/Small.

On Tahoe I hardly notice liquid glass. The Dock and some buttons I guess. On iOS it's much more in your face, but I am getting used to it.
Seeing the glass buttons in front of a running movie is quite impressive.
same here - i upgraded every release on the release day, but tahoe is the first one i downgraded, not bc of all the bugs..
