You rename more than you open files and folders? Not sure why, but I find this concept hilarious.
As someone that uses Windows, Linux (many flavors), and am now using a Mac as my primary daily due to M1 superiority, cut and paste is uniform in how it operates everywhere except mac.
Lots of senseless operations that seem to me amount to being different for the hell of it, because users think they are better and refuse to change. Very basic processes, like manually inputting file paths in Finder, turn into an annoying exercise of remembering instead of intuitive derivation. Everything in a modern OS UX in this day & age should have fundamental design in intuition without muscle memory, as opposed to traditional comforts.
MacOS largely fails in this regard, even though I am highly proficient with it now and greatly appreciate the fact that almost everything “just works”.
I like to so an exercise with software where I imagine I am a little kid or an animal trying to accomplish a task without any prior knowledge. What would be my steps? I think that users should be able to use physical intuition to operate tech, but maybe I am a minority.
