"People always bash iTunes, but I actually use it quite often and I like it. Maybe it's just me though?"
I'm really picky about OSX annoyances and confusing fake-ease-of-use from Apple, but I do use iTunes fairly regularly just to listen to music and podcasts and I have never had any issues.
Here's why:
I only use iTunes to just play tracks. I don't use it for anything else.
All of my file org and maintenance and backups and transfer - all of that is done from the command line with cp/mv/rsync/etc.
For me, iTunes is just a play button and nothing else. I use command-o to open files and then click play and that's it.
That's why I still use OSX even though I hate it. No matter what the OS refuses to let me do (or figure out to do) I can always just force the issue with the command line - and that wasn't an option always in Windows ...
That is also why this weird "you're root but not actually root" in the newest versions of OSX has me worried.
Yeah, I've had a similar experience: i only ever use iTunes for one thing, and that's as an Apple Music client. If you limit yourself to that, it's actually quite nice, much better than Spotify.
However, if I were trying to organize my mp3 library in it, I would lose my mind, I think .
