I think it comes down to preference. I definitely don't think KDE is amateur, but it certainly lacks the fine polish Apple has the money to pay for.
That said, I find MacOS frustrating at times because basic things can feel like a pain. Switching between several windows of the same application isn't a simple Alt-Tab; the green button enters full screen mode (KDE/Windows F11 Full Screen is equivalent) instead of leaving just the menu bars and application bar on screen; tiling windows isn't as simple as ramming the application against the border you want to expand to. These are simple things I do often in other OS's that have tedious menu workflows in MacOS. I still like a lot of MacOS though.

- GuestHNUser 3y agoThanks for this! Shame it isn't built in functionality.
- michaelmrose 3y agoRamming against edges doesn't work as well in a multiple monitor arrangement. I forget which environment had this as a default and in what era but one of the smarter defaults I've seen is super(windows key) + keypad numbers. For instance 1: Bottom left quarter, 4: left half, 5: maximize
- onetom 3y agoThe built-in Cmd-` (backtick) cycles through the windows of the currently selected app. I find it better than Context.app, which i did buy and used on a few machines for a few years. it's like navigating within a sparse table. columns are the apps, chosen by cmd-tab. rows are the windows of an app, chosen with cmd-` .
