I've tried to like it, but the way osx forces you to manage programs and switch between them annoys me greatly. I.e. red circle doesnt close an app, difficult to switch between windows of the same app, weird trackpad gestures are recommended, annoying to move an application to a different window. Do people actually like the way apple set this all up?
I like OSX because it's unixlike. I do agree about window maximization / minimization / whateverthefuck that plus thing is. I think Windows did it the most naturally. I've never used OSX's because it feels so unintuitive.
I hate how windows doesn’t unzip folders when you double click on it.
Would much rather run some Linux distro where I can choose a window manager that doesn't make me sad.
I like windows. Just starting a new job and they only offer a Mac pro, I'm definitely installing Windows on it.
I find MacOS really needs workspaces to be useful if you have more than two windows open. Windows and Gnome/KDE handle wibdows a lot better, to the point where workspaces are nice but not strictly necessary. Overall work flow on Mac is inferior, but tolerable.
I hate when I hit Enter it renames instead of opening the damn file or folder!
I love this.
Why though? Enter for renaming makes no sense. F2 seems better suited for this unusual operation.
Once you learn hotkeys for os x - there's no coming back. Although some companies will force you to use Windows 😔
Ive learned a lot of hotkeys. Hotkeys for windows are more intuitive and work better together. Hotkeys I set for my linux dev environment are exactly what i want and work great.
No they're not. A lot of layouts are just crap and you'll be forced to use mouse a lot more than on os x.
> ...red circle doesnt close an app Only OCD control freak cares about this. Relax! The window is out of the way. That’s all that matters.
I use an app called Spectacles. It has keyboard shortcuts for resizing windows that I like. I do wish Mac OS X was easier to navigate without a mouse

I like osx just because it’s not as robotic as windows. It def takes some getting used to tho.
Ive really tried, but I just cant find a way to do things quickly enough to not distract me from what im doing.
