I personally use MacOS for work and MacOS and Linux at home (Macbook pro and desktop PC with RHEL 8.5). Despite all the hate-on-Windows-cliche I have to admit they have been doing good things in the last years, however it’s just not for me. These are, from the top of my head, the things I dislike the most:
- Not full control over state of services running (e.g no kill -9, you can try to kill a service and it will simply tell you that you can’t despite being an admin).
- System directory tree. Not a big deal and a question of habits more than nothing.
- No culture of configuration in text files. You have to rely on Powershell. (Nothing against it, I simply don’t like it)
- The standard of using slash (/) instead of hyphens (-, —-) for arguments in the native command line tools.
- The limited set of native command line utilities.
- CMD feels limited and clunky and Powershell feels overkilling.
- It’s privative software. (To be fair, I use MacOS which is mostly privative too but I find a better balance)
- The inconsistencies on the UI in terms of aesthetics and also the mess they have with the old/new control panel options.
Pretty sure I am forgetting some more. Don’t get me wrong, I can see its good things and benefits but it’s just not my thing.
