I don't like that you say I am trolling. Kinda makes the discussion hostile. Either you are interested in hearing the experience of someone used to other OS, or you are not.

I agree about the screenshot functionality. I didn't know about CMD+shift+5 (and 4). It was built in, and it is fine. I must have incorrectly assumed it didn't exist since apple hadn't bother respecting the "Print Screen" button.

As for cmd+tab, due to the inconsistencies in the close/minimize behavior, this also means that cmd+tab leads to inconsistent behaviour. You literally either replace cmd+tab with something else (e.g. get used to adding option key in there, or remap the keybindings, or use a third party app). The alternative is to start memorizing which apps behave differently. Which is out of the question. As for what other OS'es do, I cannot speak for W10/11 because I don't want to boot into it. But, for gnome, apps that default to hide instead of closing (e.g. slack) actually hide, so they don't show up in Alt-Tab overview. Those that still show up there will also be brought to the front, as one would expect.

Also, launching spotlight and typing something hitting enter is not the same as having a global key-bind to launch a terminal.

Regarding the finder, perhaps a got a bit biased there. It's probably something different rather than bad. Perhaps just the disbelief that I couldn't use it to cut and paste, and thought "fuck this" and used a terminal, or that I couldn't find the root file system.

In any case, another week has passed, and I've made some more observations:

- Animation between desktops is incorrectly implemented and tied to frames, rather than duration. If you use "ProMotion" i.e. 120hz the animation takes twice as long as when on 60hz. Two seconds compared to one second. Either is ridiculously long. And, of course you cannot adjust this, because Apple has decided what the perfect experience is... Bleh.

- When downloads complete, MacOS will show an animation on the docker for the completed download, which... steals the input focus. Another amateurish bug.

When I thought about having to MacOS professionally, I was prepared for some frustration about bad apple design decisions. I was not prepared for the inconsistencies, the bugs, and seemingly petty refusal to facilitate anything non-apple.

Also, I'm just mentioning things that seem like straight up bugs or deficiencies. There are maaaaany tiny frustrations that are more "alright, this seems like a less useful implemention of what I'm used to". For example if I open the overview I very often think one of two things:

- Ah, I would like to close that app.

- Ah, I don't have that open, so I want to open it.

Neither of these work flows are implemented. For the former, you have to either click the app to bring it up to focus, then close it with Cmd-Q (which is ALSO inconsistent btw. Chome won't let you for example). Or you need to find it in the docker, right click and Quit. Oh, and you cannot do this while the overview is open even though the docker is shown. Right clicking doesn't do anything. Just add it to the pile of tiny inconsistencies fucking everywhere.

And for opening an app, you cannot just type as if you had spotlight open. You have to leave the overview and start spotlight. This isn't all that bad, but, definitely annoying compared to what I'm used to.

Oh, and I had a chuckle as well when I plugged in an external mouse and it asked me to press down' the button to the right of the left shift. Come on... USB peripheral identification isn't that hard.
