![]() ![]() Not all the tools I use are as good on macOS as they are on Windows.UI scaling is very good, and everything looks very good even at high resolution.Not specifically, but the build quality is good, and the screen is of high quality.Application system integration is nice.Vagrant seems to run much faster than the Windows equivalent.It is nice having a Unix terminal built into the OS.In Windows, I love that I can drag a window to the sides or corners of a screen to easily manage multiple applications at once, or drag to the top of the screen to maximize. In macOS “maximizing” make a window full screen – I’m not sure why I would ever want to even do that. I have no idea why this isn’t a thing that can be done. One of the things I dislike the most with macOS is that I cannot maximize windows similar to how the maximize functionality works in Windows. In macOS, every instance of every application, if minimized, will make its own icon on the Launchpad. The fact that application icons stack, and allow multiple instances to be grouped into one icon is also useful. ![]() In addition, in Windows, the ability to “peek” at the contents of open applications by hovering over their taskbar icon is useful to me. This may be possible to alleviate UI extensions, but by default, I don’t see a way to do this. Any time I close or open a program and the launchpad expands or contracts, my windows are left with a gap below them which infuriates me. The fact that there isn’t any kind of grid system with expanded windows, similar to Windows, tends to bug me in macOS. It can be convenient at times to use native Linux commands without having to install third-party software (such as Cygwin for Windows). While Mac’s Terminal is probably one of its biggest advantages over Windows, this has quite diminished recently with native bash support in Windows. In Windows, the applications tend to seem very separate from the operating system and not as well-integrated. The integration of applications in the system makes many features feel native to the OS (notes, email, terminal), which is nice. I’m sure there are programs that could make my life easier on macOS, and I’ll come across them as I spend more time on the system. I’ve found that I use the notes program quite often to keep things organized – in fact, I’m even drafting this article in the notes program. I also heard that the Microsoft Office Suite had issues on macOS, but so far I haven’t run into any trouble with it. Overall, I haven’t used a program that I prefer more on macOS other than maybe Source Tree over Tortoise GIT.
