Those explanations make more sense. This feels like it is more about personal preference. I have three monitors, one of them is 4K. Probably the same problem

Those explanations make more sense. This feels like it is more about personal preference. I have three monitors, one of them is 4K. Probably the same problem Scroll bars are due to the layout of content within the windows. Unfortunately, I need to use very poorly laid out apps/windows that need to span across the monitors! The design where there is a tree on the left, but one can only select one node/mode at a time, and a usually minuscule amount of content on the right appears within an enormous pane of wasted space just grates on me. There are betters ways to layout content minimally, but like the Zoom feature it is a lot of effort. Screen real estate Window snapping edges down to the pixel (0 pixel gap.) Lovely. I can't stand window snapping and turn it off completely. I want title bars. I am not fussy down to the pixel where a window lands when I move or resize it. Since I depend on overlapping windows, I want to see that hidden window between my irregularly spaced gaps between windows. Keyboard-driven workflow My workflow is mouse-driven. I prefer only a few well-known short-cut keys as the author described in the article. My left hand hovers over the Command keys, and my right hand is on the mouse. In Terminal, I have Autokey remap all the legacy ctrl keys — I can Copy Ctrl+C and Paste Ctrl+V in the Terminal consistent with other apps I use. setxkbmap -option "ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl" Flexibility config files! I would much prefer if, like decades ago, the system would automatically save and restore window placement. Workspaces By "the multi desktop feature" you mean Workspaces. I turn Workspaces off completely. Speed is relative. I don't have an M1 mac. I still have some working PowerPC Macs and the speed is fine. On the i7 Dell, I turn off animations and compositors. https://opensource.com/article/18/8/i3-tiling-window-manager https://opensource.com/article/18/8/i3-tiling-window-manager
