As is plain to see :P
Speak for yourself. After messing with Windows 11 last night, I cannot fathom how people tolerate that trash. Went back to my M1 Mac.
Funny thing is, I'm the opposite after getting a Mac for work at my current job.

You can't disable pointer acceleration via the Mouse configuration control panel. You have to use some terminal command. Scroll wheel acceleration can't be disabled at all without using 3rd party software.

The Home/End should bring the cursor to the beginning/end of the current line, not the beginning/end of the current document.

Disappearing scroll bars are only a feature on mobile applications where screen real estate is a premium.

And why is there not even an option to ungroup my windows in the Dock? If I have 3 Chrome windows, I want 3 Chrome icons so I can switch between them more quickly. Windows groups by default, but there's at least an option to ungroup them.

Everything about Mac feels like they believe that removing features is a feature.

Cmd + left/right arrow

Cmd+` to jump between Windows of the currently active application

Thank you for those tips! They just made my already great experience even better! In fact the window switching does not have that silly animation that you have on Windows. Its like the classic alt+tab!
