I recall them being terrible in NY, although it’s been awhile.
I was also in a uniquely horrible situation because I moved from NY, lost my drivers license, couldn’t easily get a new from from NY (cuz I don’t live there anymore) and couldn’t easily get one from CA because I couldn’t prove I had one to transfer. (The results is that I think I need to take the driving test again, but it’ll get scheduled out another couple months from now, or something)
Which, I dunno I’d be surprised if any bureaucracy handled that particularly well, honestly.

Fwiw, my experiences with DMVs in DC, Maryland, Virginia, New York, and Minnesota have all been about as terrible as my experiences in California.
Unless there was a bureaucracy that used witnesses.
