I use a free library for window arrangement that automatically resizes and moves windows to different parts of the screen.

The window animations and changing desktops is buttery smooth for me.

Just the way Mac OS renders fonts is enough reason for me to use Mac over Windows.

My personal setup is using iTerm2 with ohmyzsh. It’s an amazing dev setup. Blazing fast and very easy to use.

I don’t really use Finder on Mac, although with iTerm2 you can command click on any directory and open it in Finder.

In the past couple years, I’ve been doing lots of C++, Java, Scala, and some Python. Builds are pretty dang fast. I restart once in a long while after Apple updates.

The only annoying thing was on my Intel Mac, it would get very hot when building C++ code. That’s been squared away on my M1 Mac. Also, battery life is incredible.
