> But I didn't see a single sentence about how this is different from Anki and why? Why do you want to reinvent the wheel when Anki is good enough?

Well, sometimes "good enough" isn't really the point. People have different tastes and different motivations.

Why did people use Windows before v3.0 when Mac at the time was objectively better? Why did people bother using OS X when Windows at the time was objectively better? Right now, why are people using Mac OS when UI and UX on Windows is objectively better?

Why use Linux circa 1995 when FreeBSD was objectively better? Why use netBSD now when everything else is objectively better?

you keep using the word objective and i'm not sure you know what that word means. these are subjective comparisons that you are making. and different people have different subjective tastes.

I don't know if maybe English is your first language or not, but objective means "based on established fact".

In other words, you don't know the criteria I've used to rank one above the other in all my comparisons, you only know that it is something based on fact.[1]

> these are subjective comparisons that you are making.

No, they aren't.

The reasons a person may choose one option over another can be subjective. The fact that one performs better than another on a certain criteria is objective.

> and different people have different subjective tastes.

But I already said that:

>> People have different tastes and different motivations.

See?

My entire point was that, even if something is objectively better than something else, people may still want the something else due to reasons of taste and motivation.

[1] And, in fact, you could switch almost all of my comparisons around (except for the poor UI/UX on Macs - that comparison was restricted to only the UI/UX) just by using different criteria in the objective comparisons.

No. Your assessment is obviously subjective because you say that UI/UX is better on Windows than on macOS which is objectively wrong.

UI and UX is not subjective.

That Mac, in 2023, doesn't even have snapping Windows is not an inaccurate observation. No window groups. Barely visible and hard to hit Window titlebar buttons. Fails to remember Window placement for some tools (tkdiff) but not for others.

Without 3rd party addons, Mac window management is unusually poor (compared to various other Window managers, including Windows). Window management is a major component of a UI based on application windows.

None of those things are subjective.

Even with 3rd party add-ons, I eventually gave up and stopped using the MB M1 as soon as I could.
