MacOS hasn't evolved. It sticks with old paradigms because it's stuck in its ways.
With keyboards, that includes mappings that give RSI and finger strain for the sake of not adding a handful of keys.
For the window manager, that includes non-windowed applications, from a UI perspective never moving on from single application views - just giving an illusion of multiple apps.
Despite the strides NextSTEP brought Apple as an OS, some of which shows through at the command line, the UI and UX just hasn't moved on.

- thimabi 1y agoHow do you type Cmd+C versus Ctrl+C? I find the Windows version more ergonomic because the keys are farther apart, so I press Ctrl with my left hand and C with the right one. Meanwhile, on MacOS, Cmd and C are closer to one another, so I end up pressing them with the thumb and index finger of the left hand only. I believe that movement is not as ergonomic, although more intuitive.
