Well some of this is just getting used to MacOS though - Finder is a pretty huge adjustment (and honestly just not as good as Explorer). I agree that window management was probably the biggest sticking point for me. That being said - beyond being able to drag and snap windows side by side in Windows, I wasn't aware of any built-in management (or at least - thats all I missed when I switched a while back) that was missing in MacOS.
- jwells89 2y agoYeah, a lot of the friction comes from macOS being one of the only surviving major desktops that isn’t based on a Win9X paradigm, instead being a blend of classic Mac OS and NeXTSTEP (both dating back to the 80s) with a smattering of modern Apple. For longtime Mac users, Windows (and winlike Linux DEs) present almost as much friction.

- eviks 2y agoDOpus has a collapsible tree view with a few big issues remaining (don't think it has columns, but I don't find them useful on a Mac either, also use tree view there)
