I have to use Mac for work - I really hate it. Over priced, under powered and generally awful (when compared to Linux and even Windows now-a-days). But I use Many Tricks Witch for alt-tab switching - makes my life somewhat bearable. Caveat - Its a paid app though - you would think this would be tablestakes functionality - that's Apple for you.

itermocil is also a useful tool especially if you have a whole environment of microservices you need to run in development. Being able to run Docker natively would be better but hey! Make lemonade when you have lemons :-)

I also moved from Linux & Windows as the daily driver to Mac, so I empathize with how you feel. I even brought some task switcher app in my early days - don't remember the name, and I don't use anymore.
The thing is, you eventually you get used to the Mac way of doing things, and then you really don't want to to go back to Linux or Windows. :)
