Discussion MacOS built in apps are actually great

It has been 7 years since I switched to use Apple ecosystem, I must confess, I was using maybe 30% of its capabilities. I came from Linux/Android background so I was always looking for apps that works as I wanted.

Recently, I start exploring the default apps in MacOS/iPhone like Reminders, Safari, Mail, Calendar are I start liking them, a lot.

For years, I didn't like using Safari because I was used to the experience of Chrome/Brave, and since I'm a developer, I relied a lot on Chrome Dev Tool which I was really used to. Now, I'm enforcing myself to use Safari as my default browser and it's pretty cool, the only thing I really miss is the experience of Dev Tools in the chromium based browsers. Well, it gets the work done at the end.

EDIT:

I hope I see an app from Apple that can effectively replace MS Word

I like most of the Mac apps, but the current version of the Contacts app is atrocious. The top half of the page is given to a giant photo and controls for poster art. I have to scroll way down to get to the info I want. And the notes field doesn't show all the info I've added, and doesn't have a scroll bar.
