I'm always puzzled by the stubbornness with which Apple refuses to make window management on macOS ergonomic. They think about so many subtler points, they can't fail to notice the elephant in their room. It bothers me every time I have to use macOS.

I wonder who should leave the macOS team to have this finally addressed, like Jony Ive had to leave to make the Macbook hardware reasonable again.

I've mentioned in a previous discussion here that I believe that macOS has the worst UX of all the major OSes. And that belief is mostly because of how horrendous window management is (and Finder but that's a different discussion altogether). The lack of hotkeys for switching workspaces was one of my biggest gripes.

And the culture that has formed around macOS users is to just accept it and buy numerous third apps to fix things that should be a standard feature of the OS.
