This is great. Scroll Reverser + scroll acceleration fix in one app. If you can also figure out cursor acceleration, you'll have a hit. The only app that correctly disables cursor acceleration is SteelSeries ExactMouse.
SteerMouse does this just fine, and has for years and years. I can't use a Mac without it.

#16I have to try this. I already have a reverser (how on earth is this not the default, and not even an OS option to begin with?!?) but scrolling with the wheel on a usb mouse jumps randomly. Crossing fingers this may help there.
As for your jumping issue that sounds like a hardware problem. It might just be that your mouse wheel is dirty.

#17I would also enjoy a maximize button that does maximize the window and not create a virtual space with the application in full-screen.
I think people at Apple should probably use windows 10 for a few days on a dual screen setup, because MacOS is not very good compared to it. Thankfully it looks like a lot of people produce tools to make it better.

#18Since the discussion is about making MacOS more usable, do you have something to recommend to switch between windows and not applications using command+tab, and to have a dock that shows all the windows easily, grouped per application. Because the default MacOS windows manager is really crappy when you have more than one window of the same application. I would also enjoy a maximize button that does maximize the windo…
You can also use exposé, recently renamed to mission control to view all app windows.
It looks like the default key binding for application windows is Control-↑ and for all windows is Control-↓
edit: you can also bind these to mouse buttons in system preferences.

Hold option while clicking maximize and the window will do what you want.
