>- Window snapping isn't built in outside of fullscreen mode (seriously?!)

As if that's a major future? (seriously?!)

>- Sleeping the mac does not sleep the mac, it wakes up at all sorts of times

It sleeps just fine for me, across half a dozen of Macs over 2 decades.

>- TouchID for login works....but not often enough - it constantly pesters me for a password

Like the first time after a boot/login?

>- Pressing enter renames a file rather than opens it. What?

What what?

>- The Finder is either named ironically or I'm not getting it - file paths are obscured, seeing file details is hidden behind a dialog.

And most people care about paths (as opposed to navigating to folders they created or searching for files) because?

The rest can always enabled to show the paths.

>We bought the M1 because ChromeOS didn't like our old Samsung printer and the VPN software my partner uses.

Maybe just buy a different printer instead of a new computer?

A lot of the complaints are "it's not what some other OS does".

Love the "It works for me" ethos. Very popular amongst us IT guys. Sadly not much help to the OP.

If we want to have better products, we need to address issues that people have using them. Apple UX is slowly eroding over time, to the point that I planned to move to Windows camp after the forced replacement of my MBP.

Sadly or thankfully M1 really helped to put a curb into those plans :).

> Like the first time after a boot/login?

More often than that - I knew it'd ask on fresh boot, but this is after switching users or just a night where it pretends to sleep. I'm still tracking it down and figuring out the scenarios. I'm not averse to it as an OS, I just want to understand why it's done something when it has.
