It is bizarro. With multi monitor sometimes I click windows and things don’t show. Dragging when more than one dialog is open is unpredictable. The corners are huge, even when maximized. Even the vaunted application bar is so weird - and windows is trying to copy it! Why can’t we use the entire bottom of the screen? Apps don’t show there anyway! You can’t get rid of it and replace it with something else? Just not allowed.

Stretch an app across two monitors? Not with that config! Display port? Oh no! Scaling cleanly? Never heard of it.

Seriously bad stuff. I’ve thought about writing a book with everything wrong with it. It’s bonkers.

You can hide it. I rarely use it as I use a launcher.

Cmd+Space, type first letters of application name, enter.

I definitely use this, but if you want to navigate to specific window on an app, prepare to be annoyed.

MacOS doesn't really have a window manager, it has an app switcher, and a really inconvenient way to pick the context of your workspace.

cmd + ` switches between windows of an app. Unfortunately, that's the most awkward key combo imaginable on non-US keyboards. Still better than having to mouse down to the (hidden) dock, but only marginally.

GNOME does it right, and uses super + <the key above tab>. Works the same as the Mac in the US, but is infinitely better in the rest of the world.

(you might be able to remap it on macos using an undocumented 'hidutil' command, but I've never got it to work on an external keyboard)
