I feel the exact opposite.
7 was the peak. 8 was awful because it tried to be both a desktop OS and a tablet OS. 10 doubled-down on the flatness that I despise. 11 is simply trying to be MacOS, which is a massive bug, not a feature. I use Windows because it's not MacOS.
Personally, I use WindowBlinds on my Win10 PC to skin it to look like Win7. I love the grey taskbar with items that look like 3D buttons. Most of all, I much prefer that if I have 3 Firefox windows open, then I should have 3 Firefox items on my task bar. I should be able to switch windows in a single click.
When I'm eventually forced to downgrade to Windows 11, I'll have to buy the new WindowBlinds11 and Start11 to bring back the UX that I love.

- isaacdl 2y agoTook a few years after Windows 11 was released, but FWIW you can now have a taskbar item for each window. It's in the Taskbar Settings -> Taskbar behaviors -> "Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels". I also waited until that was an option, it was a total deal-breaker for me. But it's working quite nicely now.
- jajuuka 2y agoWin11 default to middle taskbar is not based on macOS, it's based on Chrome OS. Which is far more popular than macOS and a serious competitor to Windows and what kids are learning on these days. In any case it can be changed to the default far left corner in settings easily.
