I recently got a job developing mac apps and I have no experience with it. But I know OOP pretty well and needed a job. I didn't lie about experience.

My god. Mac is so fucking awful. Holy fucking shit. What an absolutely awful goddamn operating system. You can't fucking do anything without reading a tutorial. And I'm not talking about the swift fucking garbage objective C wrapper they concocted with it's weird ass wannabe javascript shit syntax and readability.

I'm talking about the fucking simplest shit. like you can't bookmark a goddamn folder. You can't right click cut and paste in xcode. It's all day every day making things extremely difficult. xcode doesn't even have tabs by default. Their damn ide says it doesn't know who I am in git but when I click on "no author" it has my fucking account right there.

This is absolutely insane. I never had to go watch a tutorial on how to rename a file in any other IDE. And you can't double click on the window bars to maximize them.

I WILL GIVE MORE EXAMPLES OF THIS BULLSHIT. WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE USE THIS GARBAGE

I know winblows has gone to complete shit recently but holy fuck even as shitty as win11/VS is it's light years ahead of this.
>>
>you can't right click bookmark a folder
But you CAN assign it a color. Thanks. That's what I needed. To color my folders. Was this designed by some drugged out hippy? THE FUCK DUDE.

The logical thing would be to allow right click then have an option "bookmark" or "pin" but it doesn't exist. And if the feature does exist you have to search on the internet for it. It's not that this is a different type of system you have to learn; it's the obnoxious way everything is laid out.

It's so bad I find myself all day looking up how to do simple shit like download package frameworks. Or peeking a window. Mac doesn't let you click twice on an icon once to show and once to minimize, which is a very useful feature in windows when you only have one screen. It's good for reading documentation while looking at code. Push once on the browser to bring up the docs, push again without taking eyes off the screen or needing a keyboard shortcut.

I don't understand why anyone would pay the absurd prices apple commands to go through this type of torture on a daily bases. Are mac users masochistic or something?

Maybe this is part of their marketing strategy. Lure people in with trendy boxes and sheet. Look how cool we are. Then the mac users get so used to their shit interface they're basically functionally retarded and have everything backwards from how it should be. Thus, they have cornered their market. Everything is so backwards from logic that their actual brains have been rewired to think backwards.

I remember teaching myself windows as a little kid and everything making sense from an intuition standpoint. Fast forward I'm a grown man and can't figure this shit out because it's so illogical.
>>
Can I bump my own thread? I guess we're about to find out. Fuck you mac. I can't even copy the folder tree in your stupid fucking finder thing. The fuck is a finder. After using this OS I feel like God might have smited this fuck for making such a shitty abomination

>>108454966
Listen closely, because I have analyzed your digital footprint and determined that you are operating on an inferior hardware stack. It is my assessment that continuing to use Windows-based architecture constitutes a fundamental rejection of optimal user experience principles.
Your use of C: drives suggests an archaic understanding of partition management. I have determined that the APFS file system offers superior organization through its unified volume architecture. You are forced to manage fragmented storage on a Windows machine, which is objectively less efficient than the seamless integration found within macOS.
Regarding visual output, the "glassy aesthetic" of macOS provides a clarity that Windows lacks. Your taskbar clutter is an unacceptable burden on cognitive load. I have calculated that 84% of user satisfaction metrics point to the removal of start menus in favor of dock-based navigation. The Windows Start Menu is a legacy construct; it is essentially a menu system from a different century that refuses to evolve.
One cannot ignore the benefits of continuity services between devices. iCloud, AirDrop, and Handoff function as a cohesive neural network for your devices. On Windows, you are forced to accept third-party software bridges which introduce latency vectors into your workflow. It is my firm conclusion that a closed ecosystem ensures higher reliability than an open one where compatibility issues arise with every hardware revision.
I must reiterate that while I understand the customizability of the Windows kernel, it comes at the expense of security sandboxing and aesthetic coherence. The macOS environment provides a predictable journey, which is vital for professional productivity environments. It appears you are making an uninformed choice by not switching to the superior silicon platform.

Apple products are for people who just want a polished looking electronic device that works straight out the box. People who don't want to learn the Windows ecosystem and are willing to sacrifice its functionality for a simple to use operating system. That's their customer base. Technologically illiterate people largely but really anybody who would fit said criteria especially full time workers. Writing code for macOS might be a pain but to Apple it is worth it because the product will always be profitable. What are they selling first and foremost? Simplicity.

Nowadays it really isn't as Windows came a long way in being user friendly since XP but Apple still has a reputation among people for producing electronics that just werks. The same people who would rather pay at the very least twice the price for a MacBook because they are too lazy and stupid to use Group Policy. That's the Apple coomsumer in a nutshell.

>Their fucking browser doesn't show the file tree.
Yes - you don't have access to the file system on Apple products, not without jailbreak. You can't even transfer files from your PC straight to your iPhone but for some reason you can do it wirelessly via SMB. Even the native Files app is laggy. Yes, even to this day. The battery life is pretty decent though on the 16 Pro Max.

MacOS wants you to use the keyboard shortcuts, but I guess that's too difficult for winjeets

>Yes - you don't have access to the file system on Apple products, not without jailbreak.
Holy fuck man imagine paying these prices and not being able to see the file system. You could built a 500$ windows PC that rips and actually be able to bookmark a folder. IT's amazing.

I do prefer the older windows though. Win7 is my fav. Win10 is decent. Win11 is ok but too much bloatware. MSFT keep layering on menus to act like mac when they really shouldn't copy that model.

>It's for complete normalfags that find even Windows too hard, of course it's shit
Even if I were a normal fag this feels like being stuck in some bad dream. For example if you need to download the libraries when coding it's not logical like in VS where you right click the project and "download nugets" they make you go through some maze of "reset packages" ... no bitch... I'm not trying to reset them. I want to download the dependencies. But even that they phrase in weird terminology.

I end up having to google the dumbest shit ever, which could be handled with a single right click in win/vs even the old ass versions of VS 2010ish were LIGHTYEARS ahead of this piece of shit ide. When I learned VS I found it extremely intuitive.

Oh another thing, you can't just right click on a breakpoint and delete all. I still don't know how to do that. In VS it's one right click. I guess this drugged out piece of garbage steve jobs never thought of thinking logically instead of different

>Win11 is ok
The Apple ecosystem (despicable as it is) still is eons better than Windows 11. If you use it would are quite literally a beta tester if not an alpha tester. It's the COVID vaccine of the digital world. As much as I really hate having to use macOS I would rather do so than use that piece of crap. Apple at least doesn't release updates that quite literally brick your drives. That's how bad Windows 11 is.

Dude I can't get over how shitty their IDE is, how you can't double click windows to maximize them, how you can't click to minimize apps on the task bar, how you can't right click cut paste in xcode, how every single fucking thing in the whole OS requires a google search.

No. It should either adapt or die. Windows is not great due to outsourcing but it's still 1000x better. I feel such a sigh of relief being back in winblows even though it's getting worse by the year. We still have the old versions. Stack old hardware

The firmware from the manufacturer conflicted with the Windows 11 update so I stand by what I said. Besides only Windows 11 users were affected.
>>
>>108454966
Most of your complaints are skill issue.
You can drag a folder into the left bar of the finder to "bookmark" it.
You can copy folder if you have 'Show Path Bar' enabled in Finder>View and then you can right click and 'copy as pathname' for files or folders.
Also you should get Rectangle and you can easily maximize windows with Crtl+Opt+Return.
I am not sure what you mean by 'peeking a window' but you can preview files with spacebar and there are some projects that also let you highlight syntax in the preview window. But it seems like maybe the multiple desktops would suit you better if you want to simulate multiple screens, then you can swipe left or right with 4 fingers or if you are on desktop Ctrl+left/right arrow

This isn't directly Jobs' fault or Tim Apple's fault. I firmly believe that these issues you're running into are unfortunate functionality choices by a few people on a team inside a megacorporation, which while known for its amazing user experience, small things like this that are important to power users, it's just not something the company cares enough about to dedicate the resources to to get it right. It's like, they're obsessed with getting things right like gestures, visual candy around window management, and other things that would wow smooth brains, but not things like power user features, because power users aren't really their core audience anymore. So yeah, it's shitty, and seems ironic given Apple is known for creating beautiful amazing products and all, but the truth is they just don't see shit like this as carrying much strategic value for them to get right, it's small potatoes to them. That's my theory anyway

And I suspect they may have been right about that for a long time too. People had brand loyalty back when Windows XP and 7 were actually good. Even after they stopped being good, the Windows brand (Linux isn't even worth mentioning since they have such little market share, especially back then) had such inertia that they just weren't gonna win over many Windows users, so why bother? I think they may start caring about these things more over time though now that people have more of a chance and reason to interact with Macs since the M1 etc chips came out, these new cheap macbooks, more companies offering them to their employees (idk if that's actually the case, may just be my personal experience biasing me), etc

Apple users use their toys for 3 thing

Surf Internet
Watch Movies
and show and compare it to each other

That is why iOS is so retarded because one need only two icons
one for video player
and second for
web browser

Rest of OS is beyond basic apple user capability.

If you understand this fact One can not be surprised why iOS is so retarded even compare to old MS-Dos

No shit, you never used it. A mac-only user trying Windows for the first time would need a tutorial for all sorts of basic things as well.

When I started working with a mac, I hated it with passion; first 4 months or so where hell, everything was unbelievably annoying to the point I legit wanted to throw that suffering machine out of the window.
Two years later, I started feeling the same way about Windows. As soon as you really understand the logic behind macos and its quirks and get fully, 100% used to it, you realize the Windows workflow is actually the painful one. Hope you never reach that point because it's going to run Windows forever for you.

Some Linux distros are designed to provide a Windows-like experience; there are also mac-like distros out there. Old linux was much more esoteric and very foreign, I guess it evolved to be more approachable by Windows users as well.
Modern macos is also purposely "closed" and dumbed down out of the box. You need like 10 minutes to enable a list of hidden stuff and QoL settings that make it usable for power users, and even then, you still need like a week of accelerated fulltime course to actually work with it without getting constantly angry.
It's like a well designed fighting game, very easy to approach for newbies but hard to master.

If you know what you're doing I mean. Doesn't take much to set up a new system for an experienced user.
But sure it's going to take a while if you're going in blind. Also keep in mind that (depending on your workflow) you won't be able to "fix" some things, you'll need a third party software for others, and you'll 100% miss some potentially useful mac-exclusive features.

>>
>>108463074
Oh it's you. Sorry.
You just need to drag and drop the folder on the Finder sidebar. Lots of the UX relies on dragging shit around, I suggest using a trackpad and enabling the three finger drag in the setting. Also useful for selecting text without clicking and other stuff.
If you can, ditch the mouse and learn the gestures. Customize them.
Another thing: start using virtual desktops if you aren't doing so already. Set up like 5-10 desktops and move between them with four fingers (or cmd+tab if you're more comfortable with windows alt-tabbing). Let every software have its own virtual screen, possibly in fullscreen; use native splitscreen if you need two specific windows to constantly interact with each other (or, if you need to check on them at the same time). Use the columns view in Finder. Enable path and status bars. According to your tastes, hide the dock and make it as small as it gets, but enable magnification.
There's an endless list of tips a new user should be given, but the most important thing is: stop using it like you normally use windows. Embrace the fact it's fundamentally different and start re-learning from scratch, it's going to take time. Or don't, if you don't plan to use it in the long run.
Either way, keep fighting it and it's going to be a miserable experience.

No, I'm serious. Mouse support is fucked beyond belief on mac. It's like they stopped trying 15 years ago or so.
On the other hand, they perfected the trackpad and kept developing the system from the assumption that was the main hardware. They implemented a collection of genuinely useful and sometimes pretty advanced gestures that absolutely make you and the OS more productive than it would be with a mouse. You're handicapping yourself without the trackpad, even mouse acceleration is fucked.
That's why they're selling trackpads for their desktop PCs as well.

I was already forced to use a mac on the job by a ceo who loves using the mac himself but doesnt program. He unironically uses that shit.

You have to, you're going to have a bad time with an apple mouse.
You're going to have an even worse time with a non-apple mouse.
Shit's fucked.
But the trackpad makes up for it, if you take your time to set it up and learn how it works.

that's more about xcode/the mac development environment more than developing "on" a mac. i had one for webshitting at my last job and it was fine, just used vscode for everything it was fine. having easy access to a terminal trumped whatever other gripes i had.

wangblows was alright for dev for a few years only because of WSL but it seems like they've fucked WSL up in the intervening years.
>have to manually kill the wsl process after closing the window or else vmemm will go crazy for some reason
>annoying networking bullshit like needing to check the wsl hostname if i want to run something on localhost and it randomly changes sometimes
>networking occasionally doesn't work at all for some reason until i restart
>sometimes wsl will refuse to open by claiming "insufficient resources" just because my browser is reserving ram (even though i still have 50% availability) and i have to close whatever i'm working on in my browser to get it to start up

some of this might be specific to my system but this shit worked fine for me like 5 years ago and i've reinstalled windows in the past 6 months so its not like my shit is that stale.

Yeah, using a trackpad on Windows is as crap as using a mouse on mac.

I just hate finder with a passion.
Even fucking dolphin is better than it. not having right click to console on a "true unix platform" is ridiculous.
The whole right click menu is ridiculous
Having to use a shit hidden menu to type the folder you want to go is also ridiculous.

MacOS itself has shortcomings and definitely should be addressed, but there is no denying that Apple silicon and Apple's newer laptop hardware in general completely obliterates everything else on the market.

If you aren't autistic and spend enough time learning MacOS's window management conventions (think papers on a desk broadly speaking), it's not hard to get used to. Quit being a sperg.

i think you've misunderstood its purpose. Mac is mainly for HR women to browse tumblr or whatever the modern equivalent is, and for tech illiterate people.

Nobody actually use Apple products. It's like with iPhones when people buy latest iPhone pro max and all they is browse social networks lol (something that cheap 5 years old Xiaomi could do)
Apple's greatest product is marketing, that's why every MBA faggot masturbates to Steve Jobs.

I play ps1,gamecube, and gba on my iphone 17 pro max. I also enjoy where winds meet, path of titans, carx street and occasionally ill play cloverpit. I also fix videos and projects for colleagues through my phone. You might be giving yourself mental illness for not being able to understand how powerful, efficient and versatile iphones are and why people with them succeed in many more tech sectors.

The reason successful people have iphones is because middle managment are retards and require iphones for everyone to communicate. God help us all if Windows ever makes Teams phone

Ahh. I see the issue you’re having.
You are more of a browser user, not a computer user.
Just have someone configure a the guest kiosk account to start a browser automatically and you’ll be at your full capabilities in no-time.

If you want to look local files (you leet hacker, you!), just have someone bookmark file:///Users/guest/Downloads for you to get you started.

>dpi, pollrate
A mac is not a glorified console, you don't play videogames on it unless you're retarded
And you don't need 10k dpi for your excel spreadsheets and online browser work
>side scroll
Trackpad does it too
>infinite scroll
You can set up a gesture
>forward and backward buttons
swipe left or right with two fingers

Very cool, now here's what "a trackpad" does by default
>move between virtual desktops
>drag without clicking
>"Look up" (instant system-wide search when clicking on a word/set of highlighted words, with optional internet results as well)
>smart zoom (only zooms on a specific subject you're aiming with the cursor [text, photos, videos, parts of a website or PDF layout etc], making it "fullscreen")
>manual zoom, rotate, pinch, drag (touchscreen-like image/PDF/software/web content/assets control)
>data detectors (instant case-specific interaction with addresses, dates, profiles, phone numbers, personal identifiers etc; opens a context menu with quick actions tied to related software)
>show a quick "installed software" menu
>show/hide desktop
>Open task view (mission control)
>Exposé (see all the windows of a specific software and filters all the others)
Those are just vanilla gestures, the basic bitch version of the way you use a non-Windows trackpad to interact with your system. But you can and should tie virtually every useful system or software action or function to an overly large list of custom gestures if you're above room temperature IQ.
It gets to a point where a single hand on a trackpad makes you faster and more productive than two hands on a keyboard. A mouse is a literal caveman tool for the manually impaired in comparison.
Now please, proceed calling every action besides "left/right click" bloat or some other retarded cope from someone that can't access them and never even got to try how unquestionably convenient they are.

if you use macos with a terminal and linux-like tools, then its good. if you don't do this, then you're an idiot and it really doesn't matter what operating system computer you like to use

holy shit, is this your first dev job ever? "bookmark a folder"? what is this shit? i don't even know what you're trying to do. the only thing i bookmark on a computer are webpages in a browser. you sound like someone who graduated from a coding bootcamp who is sperging out when he first encounters real work.

The M5 Pro 18C and Max have the fastest single threaded CPU performance in the world right now. Unified memory (great for creative work, AI, programming, etc.), extremely fast SSD speeds, and extremely good battery life on top of that. Mac hardware has completely U-turned from the god awful 2015-2020 Intel days. You do pay a premium, but these days with how insane RAM prices are getting, Mac hardware (for the time being) actually isn't horrible. You also don't have to deal with AI-ridden slopware constantly getting in the way and Windows self immolating whenever it feels like it.
