Here's one then from a 15-year Mac user:
The printing system sucks. I have a large selection of printers, most of which cannot print the same paper sizes that the others can print; one of the sizes most commonly lacking is a #10 envelope. Because of this and the way OS X remembers your printer settings, printing and envelope is a very tedious chore. To do something as simple as this in Pages, I have to open the template, go to Page Setup, select the target printer, select the target paper size, change the page orientation to landscape, go to the Print dialog, select the target printer again, and finally click Print.
The OS will not associate the source document size with the actual matching paper size in the printer driver. If I don't go through all those steps, the envelope prints rotated off by 90 degrees. Saving a template with the Page Setup stuff configured does not preserve it either.

- smackfu 16y agoApple's bug tracking system is pretty terrible too. Since it is all private, and you can only see your own bugs, the most common result is that they mark your bug as a duplicate to some other bug that you can't see. At that point, you can't track the status anymore. The other option is that they just leave it in the open status for years. It's very frustrating.
