They are not objectively worse than the way Windows does it. I find it way better. The Mac way works better for me. I’ve used Windows and Linux and prefer the menu bar and dock. On Linux, I’ll use a DE that mimics the Mac way.
You may not like it. It may be inefficient for the way you work but it’s not objectively worse. There can be more than one way to do desktop interfaces. It’s OK.
I listed objective UX shortcomings with it.
I’m open to being convinced that you honestly think it’s better than the Windows one, if you can explain why.
Otherwise this sounds like reflexive defensiveness.
On Linux especially you can customize a dock to behave literally exactly the same way as Mac, so it’s honestly kind of nonsense to say that you prefer Mac’s way.
OK, that’s just ridiculous. There’s nothing objective about your criticisms unless they apply to all or even a majority of users.
The things you don’t like don’t like are not a problem and have advantages for many users. e.g. the universal menu follows Fitt’s law and works well with MacOS single document interface. The dock is an app launcher (with some other features) it can be hidden or auto hidden. It has no impact on screen real estate if you don’t let it.
There’s nothing objective about your complaints. They are personal to you. Sure, you find millions of people who agree. They don’t apply to me or millions of other MacOS users. You don’t have to like MacOS but need to a grip on the fact that your preferences are not universal. This is just silly.
Lmfao, bruh, name a way in which it’s better than the Windows dock or shut up. Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is subjective, and owning a Mac doesn’t mean you need to run out and defend every single fucking decision they’ve ever made.
When one thing does everything the other thing does, plus can do more, it might be objectively better.
Because again, you make Linux behave exactly the same as MavOS, so your claim that you think the MacOS dock is better than linuxes already shows that you’re not arguing from a logical place, just blindly defending tim apple.
You’re going crazy either way this shit, man. I never said it was better. I said I prefer it. You can’t handle that people would like something that you don’t like. Good luck with that attitude. Bye.
