> The GUI / UX is horrible.

Coming from someone who would "prefer to be in Gnome or KDE", this is a hard criticism to take seriously. KDE is obviously designed by committee and is therefore UI elements are all over the place, and Gnome is just horrible.

> Finder is annoying as hell. The icons / layouts do not snap to resizing, proper navigation requires arcane keyboard shortcuts, it's difficult to open new instances in the expected way, tabs suck, navigation sucks. Finder is made for non-power users.

Those "arcane keyboard shortcuts" have been around for 40 years. Or is it the Emacs keybinding that you don't like? Opening a new instance of a Finder window is a Cmd N away. New tab? Cmd T - I do not understand what is hard about that. Oh, and tabs are a feature of the system, and native apps (some non-native too) automatically implement them. It seems to me that someone hasn't RTFM'ed. Some "power user" you seem to be...

The rest is rant that macOS isn't $MyFavouriteDistro and that is the only way computers should work.

> I do not want to "define" terms with the shitty built in dictionary tool, yet that option eats up context window space in every tool.

Oh no! A whole line in a context menu! The horror.




Everything you've said is an opinion except for one thing: you're telling the user they're wrong. Classic Apple behavior.


What makes my opinion you any less valid than your opinions? Classic arrogant troll behaviour. I merely pointed out that you are exaggerating. Like I said, you want everything to work like it does with your favourite platform, and if it doesn’t then it’s clearly broken or shit or user hostile. Power user? Don’t make me laugh.
