Interesting. I've had the opposite experience. I really enjoy the keyboard experience in Windows 10.
Win+Shift+S to take screenshots, Win+Tab for the expose-style view of all windows, Ctrl+Win+L/R to change desktops, etc.
I haven't used Windows Server since 2012R2 was the new hotness (the product that ran on it has since been ported to dotnet core and containerized) so maybe that explains my differing experience.

On my Surface Book, when I have a fair bit running (call it 20+ windows and approaching full use of main memory), the first invocation of that could make the machine unresponsive for 10+ seconds, because that Win+Tab thing uses inordinate amounts of memory (well over half a gigabyte for that many windows on a 3000×2000 display, if they’re all maximised it’ll be closer to a gigabyte), so it has to shuffle loads of memory around first. Even subsequent openings of it tend to take half a second at best, more typically 1–2 seconds. Meanwhile, I believe macOS’s equivalent transitions smoothly and quickly. Not that I’ve used it myself for fifteen years or so.
- seabrookmx 7y agoYeah when I was running Windows 10 on a laptop I disabled animations for this reason. It helped _a bit_ but it was still janky. I only saw this when running external monitors though. Now my only Windows 10 PC is an overpowered desktop so no issues. Though running Ubuntu (really digging 19.10) has a noticeable hit to battery life. You really can't win..
