Just a few preliminary comments for those thinking about upgrading:

I use the Apple built-in Mail app with Office365 as my mail server. Nearly all macOS updates I installed for Monterey after buying my MacBook Air M1 2020 would break my mail, at least the sending portion. The Ventura upgrade didn’t, so that is good. I didn't have to trouble shoot and correct trashed settings, so Apple must have gotten that resolved.

My external monitor and external drives all connected without issue. I disconnected the external drives before running the upgrade then reconnected them afterwards. I left the external monitor attached. I have the external monitor connected to a hub and whenever the MacBook Air M1 restarts I have to unplug the power to the hub and plug it back in before the hub communicates again, and that hasn’t changed. Apple really needs to resolve that as a lot of users have this problem. Yes the cables are all correct, the issue is crappy programming by Apple. The hub sends the power to charge my MacBook Air M1 and if I don’t remember to unplug/replug its power cable then my MacBook Air M1 will drain the battery. Not a Ventura issue, but still an issue.

I will add more thoughts and comments as I use Ventura over the next several days. Overall it feels and looks good. I don’t appreciate having to look for stuff though and wish Apple wouldn’t move things around all the time. I also wish they wouldn’t multiply the number of steps required to do things!
