I remember I used to be able to force-quit an app by two-finger tapping on the red "close" button. Then suddenly after some update, the feature is gone. I hate when they change shit for no reason and dont think for a second about breaking peoples workflow.
- tinus_hn 4y agoThe Apple line of thinking probably is that force closing apps shouldn’t be a part of peoples workflow.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoThe line of thinking that they decide what should be part of my workflow is exactly what bothers me so much about macOS. For me it's also ingrained Command-Q into my brain to close an app. Especially because even before this change apps often didn't close when you closed the last window. It's always been like that. Only some apps like System Preferences do it.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoWell my thinking is that homelessness shouldn't be a thong in a first world country, and but this'solution' is like making homelessness illegal and declaring that you solved the problem. Clearly the appropriate solution would be to somehow make sure that I never need to force close the application, but the damn thing won't even let me restart if some app has hung (I am looking at you MS teams!)
- Klonoar 4y agoThey explicitly keep the Apple icon menu entry for this, so they’re not hiding it from people. I’d put more money on people on Touchpad devices force quitting more often than anticipated, so they removed it.
