I should say a lot of that is because of the fundamental assumption that multiple instances of an app are related to each other in multitasking.
If I have vscode in my external monitor, plus two Firefox instances one in internal and one in the external, than in many ways of switching to the browser, both windows come up. That covers my IDE, and I need an extra click/keystroke to bring it back. One example of many.
I've observed many mac users. Most of them are much slower than a windows/Linux user with same level of geekiness. In windows/KDE linux, the window switching is conceptually simple and everyone can learn it fast.
- hollandheese 4y agoUse Expose or Cmd-` rather than Cmd-Tab or the Dock if you want the Windows behavior.
- aljgz 4y agoIf you are on chrome, and you have two vscode windows, you need to use CMD-tab to switch to VsCode, then see which one you got, if it's not the one you wanted, use CMD+backtick to switch to the other. Using the mouse is much much slower than the keyboard, especially if on both windows you have been using the keyboard.

- brulard 4y agoI'm not sure what kind of users you observed, but I have switched fully to Mac (as a developer from linux+windows) after seeing how quick devs can be on a Macbook. Dev conferences are full of macs and most of my dev friends made a transition to Mac and I have not heard one complaining about any workflow speed. Actually the opposite and so is my experience.
