One other point: the loss of SD and CCC (except for Intel-based Macs) is a "core" operation that one must do, ie, make backups. Yes, there is Time Machine, but there are just too many advantages to using SD and CCC. That loss is definitely a bummer!
Just to be clear, the loss of functionality in SuperDuper! and Carbon Copy Cloner is the ability to make a
bootable backup (clone). This is a significant distinction from Time Machine. So far on Apple's SoC M1 Macs (to date) SD and CCC can make backups of the data portions of the drive.
I understand that. However, as you stated, it is the loss of making bootable backups. But, for CCC, one can make
normal, bootable backups for Intel-based Macs:
https://bombich.com/blogRead that first paragraph on that link. I am bemoaning the loss of making such
bootable backups (clone) with SD. Hence, given that (for now) both of my Macs are Intel-based, I will need to use CCC to make bootable backups the "old fashioned", direct way.
