Aerospace looks neat - might have to give it a try.

However, honestly, 99% of my multitasking pain on MacOS comes from the un-removable ~300ms animation delay when switching spaces. "Reduced Motion" changes the animation to a fade and doesn't solve the problem.

If I could instantaneously switch between virtual desktops I'd be so happy. I've wanted this for years.

Aerospace is what you need! The exact reason I decided on sticking with it.

That's basically why I stopped using them altogether. I'm using COSMIC DE now on my Linux systems, and while it also has animations, it doesn't look nearly as bad as MacOS.

On MacOS I resorted to tiling and alt-tabbing my way through because of the delays. I don't want to wait for the window system to draw pointless animations, but I can't disable them.

And then in Sequoia they implemented primitive tiling too and of course decided they HAD to add a non-configurable, impossible to disable resizing delay on tiling which nearly brought me to install a VM and use the MacBook as a glorified VM host (before Sequoia it used to be instant).

Aerospace solves this, and many other design problems with Mac OS windowing.
