I feel pretty comfortable saying that was the last good one, perhaps the best one, and it’s been downhill ever since.
It hasn't been steadily downhill. There was a plunge downwards with Windows 8, then 8.1 recovered a little and 10 more, before Windows 11 undid the gains.
You know the saying: every second version of Windows is ~~good~~ usable.
I think they are trying to ensure that no future Windows is ever good again. I mean, it was Win10 that made me frustrated enough to permanently kick the habit of using Windows.
Same! The two straws that broke the camel's metaphorical back were the stupid functionality of the search bar in the start menu; and the beginning of the removal of local accounts.
