Names like macOS Sierra and macOS Mojave are short and sweet, and by comparison OS X El Capitan feels long and clunky. First off, it's the only California name so far with four words in it. Although I'm a personal fan of all the names Apple has come up with so far, El Capitan has never been my favorite for several reasons. This list will be based only around the name itself and the location/wallpaper, not around how much I like using the particular OS.Įl Capitan starts us off at the bottom of this list.

Inspired by another post asking about the general consensus on the California location-themed names for macOS, I decided to put together my personal ranking of all eight revisions of OS X/macOS since Mavericks.
