I have to use mac at work because one of the company officers loves apple products. As a developer, I hate it. As a power user, I hate it. Hate is a strong word but when you look at a keyboard after using Mainframe keyboards, HP-UX, AIX, Windows, Linux and now look at a mac and there's no Backspace key.
Control sometimes acts like Control and other times acts like an alien interpreting what it thinks I want to do.
The touchpad has exactly one freaking #$#%@#%$ button!?!!?

- Kerrick 2y agoI don’t think Mac touchpads have had any buttons for years.
- selfhoster 2y agoThis expensive M3 macbook has a pad you touch with your finger to move the cursor around. It has one click only.
- throwanem 2y agoTap it with two fingers, the same as you would on many other manufacturers' laptops for just ages now. Honestly, if you're not going to bother to try to learn...
- DecentShoes 2y agoThe keyboard has a backspace button. Do you seriously think all the millions of people who use a Mac just have no way of correcting typos?? The touchpad can do click, right click, middle click, a four fingered click, and more. I have 5 different tap\click actions mapped on mine with BetterTouchTool.
- selfhoster 2y agoI use my PC keyboard to control the macbook so I have a backspace button. The macbook itself doesn't have one.
- wpm 2y agoIt has a button in the same place that does the same thing, are you malding over the fact that it says “Delete”? Buy a label maker than and stop being a baby.
