Do you honestly believe all of those things happen to everyone? You think everyone who likes macOS is just ignoring those kinds of severe issues? Obviously you have some kind of problem with your system.

Well, most of what he is saying are actually easily reproducible macOS quirks. - Windows disappear, become inaccessible after moving between monitors, even though it still open and active according to doc/task list. This indeed happens relatively often if you have multiple monitors and switch between them for any reason. e.g. in my case I have two machines and two monitors, sometimes I switch the primary monitor to a specific machine and this almost always fucks up macOS. Solution is to disconnect and reconnect the monitor. - Why can't I move a window to a monitor/workspace that has a maximized window? Like, you can do it by un-maximizing the window in question, moving the other window over and then re-maximizing the window again. But why is this nonsense needed? What problem could this restriction possibly be solving? A lot of people who use macOS agree that the fullscreen window thing is needless and makes for quirky behaviour. - Dock constantly breaks/becomes inaccessible. This is a known problem for at least 5+ years - the solution is to manually kill and restart the process??? - Text cursor/caret randomly disappears when editing text, so you can't see where the cursor is, and you can't fix this unless you restart the app (happens to pretty much all apps). Yep, happens quite frequently to multiple people I know and in multiple apps. - Bad defaults in terms of keypress repeat times and rate. No apparent way to change this from settings - need to run commands and re-login to test new behaviour. Indeed this is very painful for people who are non-developers and are used to be able to have higher repeat rates.
