Speaking of their UI pattern, I just don't understand why MacOS doesn't indicate when one software has 2 or more open windows. For example, if you open 2 Word documents, the Word app will only show one, and there's no intuitive way to tell if there's a second window, and no intuitive way to switch to the second window. My wife has had a Mac for 10 years and still only semi understands how these windows work.

Edit: comments below are trying to tell me how to switch windows, of course I know how. My point is MacOS doesn't tell you there are multiple windows. On PC, the Dock will show "stacked" icons.

Apple is gently telling you you're holding your phone, sorry, Word, wrong, and you shouldn't do that.

I'm not kidding, for some of this stuff that's their actual line of reasoning.

They probably want you to use some other window management feature, regardless if you want to use it or not.

Go to the Trackpad settings, go to "More Gestures," turn on "App Exposé." Three finger swipe down will reveal all windows in an application.

You can also cycle between windows in an application with Command + ` (tilde or backtick key)

Also, In the Keyboard settings, there's a shortcut under Mission Control for "Application Windows," set to Control + Down by default.

This is my other complaint.

Having to have their stupid track pad to have functionality sucks.

I want a mouse and keyboard. A keyboard that doesn't fist fuck a Fn key where the Ctrl key is supposed to be.

A keyboard with a delete button.

A keyboard with a number pad.

You know. .. Like grown ups use.

Like this? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMMR3LL/A/magic-keyboard-...

No Fn key, delete button, number pad.

200 for a 40 dollar keyboard to restore functionality they took away bc they're brave and different

Use “App Expose” to show multiple windows (you can configure this to a swipe down gesture).

Use Command+` (backtick) to switch between windows.

Yeah this is fucking horrible. I have tons of shit open

I shouldn't have to see all of it to find the one thing I want. I should be able to pick from the app.

There's an app out there called ubar which replaces the dock and it's functionality is amazing. But it's memory hog and freezes all the time.

I'm forced to use a Mac for work

Probably the most powerful machine I've ever owned. I have a giant ass 40+ in curved monitor.

I still prefer my 10+ year old Dell laptop with an aging Linux distro on it.

Hell.. I prefer Windows.

Using a Mac is so painful. The moronic fn key placement.

Using a terminal reverts back to using the Ctrl key but everything else uses ⌘

There's no real concept of window management.

The version of Bash is 10+ years old.

I've always hated the "menu bar" but now that I have a monitor bigger than Lizzo's ass I really hate it. Having to drag my cursor 45miles up to get to Edit is idiotic.

The number of apps I have to install to get it to function like a real desktop makes my system tray look like it did on Windows XP SP2.

Nevermind whenever my non-apple Bluetooth headset connects it auto-opens Apple Music even though I've never once used it and I never will. There's zero way to disable this functionality. Zero.

MacOS is an abortion

On my droid about 2.5gb of garbage of a software.

And yet it almost works on Google assistant, with hardly any installation.

I too get lost from playlist and search/song wandering, but Apple isn't unique in this regard.

I've been an Apple fan since 2008. Their media apps are just bad and have they have been for years.
