I wonder how people like Mac. I recently transitioned from Windows to a Mac machine.

What would Mac fans say about the following issues Mac OS has?

  1. Hangs a lot & lot of heat emission like an induction stove after OSX updates - 2021.
  2. Not even basic shortcuts are present. How would you navigate b/w multiple windows of same application? There is NO way possible, you'd have to install some custom app such as "AltTab"
  3. Shortcuts are absolute shit. There isn't even a shortcut to open Finder, how ridiculuous! In windows, it's simple, Windows + E.
  4. Closing an active window doesn't make the "previously active window" active. I'd have to click on it to make it active.
  5. No easy way to configure default apps by extensions. How do I say open all .txt, .csv, .json files by VS Code? Forget about it!
  6. Say there's a folder of images. How do you open an image & navigate to other images with arrow keys without installing a third-party app?
  7. Some of the Mac's available shortcuts are difficult/impossible to press even for a person who's perfect at typing.
  8. Is there a good app that allows me see the contents of a zip file without extracting it? No!
