I made the switch from Linux to KDE a few years back. It takes a while to learn all the new keyboard shortcuts—in fact most of the missing bits quoted in the article are present, just not where/how you were used to them in KDE.
What really sold me on MacOS though was multi-finger touchpad gestures, like three-finger drag and four finger desktop switch. It's difficult or even impossible to get that on Linux (at least it was a couple years back when I last tried).
Then there are other small things like the consistent availability of emacs-like keybindings. I'm using Ctrl-t to exchange ('transpose') two adjacent characters all the time to fix typos in-place. Under Linux this is very much hit-and-miss and depends on the app toolkit.
Bottomline: one you're used to MacOS it's not worse than KDE (which is still great BTW).
