MacOS Big Sur: Network Utility has been killed-off!
With all new generations of good software, some things must die.
Today, after about a week of using macOS Big Sur, I realised one of my most used utilities has been killed off — Network Utility.
As someone who manages domains, I find it much easier to open the Graphical User Interface (GUI) than typing commands in the Terminal.
I’d use this often for WhoIs and TraceRoute.
But why?
What surprises me most is why Apple killed the functionality:
- Was it going to cost too much to upgrade this for the M1 Chip?
- Am I the only person who used the Network Utility?
- Is this Apple encouraging developers to make a replacement? $$$$
