For any "serious work" you'd spend 90% of the time in a terminal anyway, so that's not much of an issue tbh (ok, admittedly that's a very coder-centric perspective).

Those talking about "serious" work are usually gatekeepers.

Perhaps the revenue my code generates isn't "serious", but I'm happy to sit down at any Mac with Visual Studio Code and drag and drop my way to the bank instead of spending hours getting my dotfiles to artisanal perfection.

You'd at least have to switch between your terminal and a browser window, which already hits macos' horrible focus bugs when window switching.
True, except that the weird Alt-Tabbing behaviour on Mac is not a bug, but it's supposed to work that way (it switches between applications - even applications that don't have any windows open). I don't like that behaviour either, but technically it's not a bug even if it feels like that when coming from other desktop environments.
