I'm pretty sure the finder lacking basic features such as cut-paste or copying the path to the current folder is a fact. The finder alone would be enough to justify my statement, but it's just a small part of the numerous issues of MacOS. The dock leaving empty space on 50% of the width of your monitor is also a fact. Or having to run a weird command in the CLI to add an empty space as separator in the dock. Or having no "Apply to all displays" when changing background images on monitors. That's just 30 seconds out of the top of my head.

Try to bear in mind that while there is nothing wrong with wanting what you want, others may not share your desires. I've been using Macs since 1988 and I've never wanted your point 1, 3, or 4, and my dock doesn't take 50% of the width of the screen, it takes about 5% of it because it's on the side where it belongs and where it was on NeXTstep. So none of this has ever applied to me, and TBH, I can't even imagine it applying to me.

  Did you miss the part where I say that you shouldn't bother commenting if you aren't using Windows frequently? You just don't know how bad you have it, that's it. But sure, MacOS is great, go back to installing a 3rd party software to snap windows xD

    (I use Windows 10 and MacOS on M1 daily, Linux Mint almost as often) Linux wins for dev and loses for apps. Windows wins for apps and loses for dev. Mac is second-best at both which is why I prefer it. That said, I'd love to be running production-ready Mint on my M1 Air. Edit: I forgot to say, and it's the reason I responded to you in the first place, that I agree. It's really sad that something like Rectangle has to exist just to get decent window handling.

    I did miss that bit, yes. Can you link to it? Secondly, I was a Windows early adopter and have used it since version 2.01. I do not see any relevance. 3rd, yes, I have Rectangle, which replaced Spectacle. So?

Granted, it is not third-party, it is by Microsoft, but then it is version 0.something, it shows and there's a reason why it is not shipped with the OS.
