I've used Windows, Linux, and MacOS as my primary operating system for long stretches of time and I make an effort to stay current on all their developments. I personally find MacOS to be the right set of compromises for what I primarily do on my computer (for now), but that familiarity also means I am much more aware currently of all the things that piss me off about MacOS. A lot of the criticisms that the author has written here are valid. I probably have a larger set of grievances about the OS than he does.
Anyone that deeply uses any operating system is going to find many things that delight them and many things that are deeply frustrating to the point where you think you might want to switch... only to find that the grass is not in fact greener on the other side, you're simply given a different set of delights and frustrations.
I just don't really know what someone like this expects to do. Just use Mojave into perpetuity? That won't work for all that long. Switch to Windows or Linux? He might luck out and find that they serve his needs better, but more than likely he'll just find them frustrating to use too. I think one ultimately has to accept that whatever they choose to use (or eschew computers entirely) that they'll be dealing with a lot of frustrations. There is no panacea.
