One thing that drives me up the wall on macOS is when an application demands attention and its dock icon starts bouncing... and doesn't stop. It happens over fullscreen stuff too.

The flashing icons in Windows are far less obtrusive, and I was just looking at the latest insider preview for 11 where they are making it so the icon will only flash a few times and then change the little "application is running" bar that sits under the app icon from white to red to indicate that it wanted your attention. Which sounds like an excellent way to handle it to me.

The worst is when the dock icon does one jump and stops. You have to wait around for it to happen again if it even does.
