    Honestly the hate against MacOS developers is kinda unfair. Its a great OS!

    The only thing I miss is tiling window managers (i3, bspwm, awesome, xmonad etc), but its not enough to make me leave MacOS…

      Tiling window managers exist on macOS. I think most people use Yabai: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

      I should probably get around to using that, but I don’t use macOS enough.

      But in terms of things that bugged me about macOS:

      1. Why do I need to install a third-party driver to record my desktop audio?
      2. Finder. I could do bullet points just on Finder.
      3. Awful window management and whatnot. Virtual desktops are better than Windows but buggy/clunky. Hopefully Yabai fixes this.
      4. Applications hanging around in the background after quitting the last window.
      5. Terrible support for games! Why don’t they just support Vulkan like everyone else?

      But it has many of the programs for UNIX-like systems, which makes it more homey. I’ve generally found it much more comfortable than Windows, once set up to my specifications. It also doesn’t annoy the hell out of me with stupid things in the start menu, constantly trying to convince me to use Microsoft products, and just generally being a nuisance. If I didn’t love GNOME so much more, then I would be using macOS all the time.
