My specific criticism is not against the OS (AFAIK it is good even if I don’t like it[0]. )
My criticism is against mindless repetition of the idea that it is somehow always better or more userfriendly than other modern OSs.
[0]: I swap a lot between programs. I swap using alt-tab. I frequently used to/will have some web-based tool running in in one browser window and the docs for the tool running in another browser window. I prefer keyboard. If I hit the mouse or trackpad I often feel I (or the OS) has failed to learn / adapt.
From what I saw people who enjoy Mac OS X worked at a slower pace than me (although possibly more efficient). They had multiple overlapping windows. They enjoyed using the trackpad and didn't feel the pain of the hunt for the global menu bar.
- kstrauser 9y agoI use my keyboard heavily for OS X navigation between apps and windows. Did you know cmd-` (backtick) cycles between windows of the same app?
- reitanqild 9y agoYes, but I'm neither patient nor intelligent enough to spend multiple seconds and brain thought on finding my second most recent window. :-) It is either alt-tab-tab or you lost me. But you smart and patient guys should feel free to continue using whatever you prefer :-)
