Mac’s apps are just so much better and nicer.
This is one of those things that just varies widely between users. I don't use IRC (actually is it still popular at all?), so I couldn't comment about mIRC or Textual.
But I still find VS better than Xcode. OneNote is still the best note taking app I know of. Word on Windows is better than the Mac version, and still probably my favorite collab word processor. And there's no Excel equivalent (it's olap, in-memory, and pivot table support across those two are still w/o peer).
And if you throw on the browser -- that probably covers 95% of the class of apps I spend my time in.
- akandiah 14y ago> Word on Windows is better than the Mac version How so? If find the the OSX version of Word to be a lot more productive thanks to the prescence of the menu-bar. The ribbon bar may look nice, but requires more clicks to do anything.
- kenjackson 14y agoI like the ribbon, but that's just one difference I prefer. I like the ability to reply to comments and close a comment thread. Or directly edit PDFs. Or to collapse sections of the doc. There's just a bunch of random little things like these that I think make the Windows version better. That said, if all I had was the Mac version, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
- koralatov 14y agoBelieve it or not, the single Windows application I still miss after almost 7 years of using a Mac is Microsoft Paint. It's laughably basic, but I used it for so long, and it worked so well for what I needed, that it felt `just right'. I've yet to find -- and probably never will find -- an ideal replacement.
