At least as far as the UI is concerned:
- No focus-follows-mouse options means I can't layer windows in a way that accelerates my workflows. Having to switch between windows constantly is a giant speed bottleneck for me.
- No keybinds for quickly resizing and positioning windows as far as I know. I only use the mouse to quickly position windows and even then just use alt-drag on my Linux desktop.
- Animations. Anything that doesn't just instantly do whatever I told it is wasting my time. I don't need pretty or shiny.
Of course this is my own personal experience, but I am extremely less productive on Mac and Windows compared to Linux due to these and more.

- dkarl 6y agoAfter eight years of using Macs exclusively for desktop and laptop use, I still can't get used to the counterintuitive focus management. I'm scrolling up and down in an app, start using the keyboard, and the keystrokes go to a different app! Arg! It just does not compute for me that I can be interacting with app A, move my mouse to app B, start interacting with app B, see my interactions have effect in app B, then start typing and find that my keystrokes are going to app A.
