To be honest, I've never taken the time to figure out how MacOS works. It's like an OS written for cultists. From the strange way the pointing device works, to the icons that don't mean anything to me, to the names that don't make sense (it's called Finder but I can't figure out how to give it find(1) arguments; isn't this supposed to be a Unix?), it seems designed to isolate the initiated and alienate the outsider. On the other hand, what I dislike about using Windows is the familiar list of complaints: invasive and hostile telemetry, heavily mouse-driven user interface, I-know-better-than-you automatic reboots at awkward times, incredibly poor performance on older hardware, advertisements and unwanted widgets baked into the start menu, garbage applications I didn't want that are installed because Microsoft wants them there, inconsistent application installation behavior, deeply incapable budget SKUs for cheaper hardware, path length limits, people running everything with administrator privileges, weird file locking behavior (ever tried to write to a file that's opened the wrong way for reading?), fragile support for terrible hardware that works just long enough to make a buck, ... I could go on all day. Basically, my problem with Windows is that when you use it, you've paid to have an experience that's worse than what you can get for free in every way that matters to me but one. The only thing Windows has going for it is that it runs Excel like a champ. |
