Can you provide some details other then just 'because we like it'? That's not really explaining things at all. That's just an emotional defensive response with nothing to back it up.
I contributed to Linux 0.12 and used it ever since. Yet I mostly access Linux through Terminal on macOS. There are many reasons, and many of them subtle, the consistency and attention to UI detail, etc. I'm constant evaluating it, but I install Linux on _many_ devices, and every little thing that needs tweaking gets multiplied. Ubuntu for me is getting very good, but inconsistencies like C-M-v in the terminal but C-v…
> Which Linux?
If i liked GNOME i'd choose Fedora. But since i prefer KDE i use openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I have previously used basically any open source operating system you can name. From Ubuntu through building Gentoo or building my own LFS all the way to trying NetBSD and QNX on desktop - silly, I know. I've been a Mac user ever since 2013 and I feel like it's consistency beats any other desktop environment. I never have to worry about something not working. I don't have to tell my colleagues at the end of a project…
Comparing an uncustomized OS to a customized one and then stating that it is a waste of time to customize the OS and hence the OS that cannot be customized is better is a bit... odd. I have no idea what a "custom WiFi icon" is but I'm guessing you bought something with prebundled apps. That is irrelevant to the discussion of consistency in one OS versus another (but of course important in the buying process but that'…
Ive installed Linux on dozens of machines, wifi works out the box on about 8/10. Bluetooth (after driver download) on about 1/3 without doing more troubleshooting.
On Mac? Both work 100% of the time on every one I've purchased.
That's the difference. 100% vs 80%. If my software deployments broke 20% of the time at work, I would be fired.

As a heavy keyboard shortcut user I find it hard to agree. Windows has been better in that regard for a long time and Linux is catching up fast. The rest to me is just unnecessary eye candy, like the hideous animations everywhere on Mac.
Enable keyboard navigation and use space/enter to press buttons
Prefs -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> "Use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls"

Re: macOS in Svelte
#116Looks pretty neat but one thing immediatly noticed:
When clicking in in the menu bar to open a menu (for example on the apple logo) and then moving the mouse down, but diagonally in a way that the cursor cross the next to the right menu item (eg finder):
- in this demo the hover triggers the finder menu to open
- on a real map the diagonal down movement prevents that and keeps the current menu open

This is dope, congrats. I've read in other comments that you also built this in React... I think people would kill to read a deep dive of the differences you've seen between both frameworks in the context of building this project. I'm a hardcore React user, and Svelte looks great, but what prevents me from adopting it is that I don't have enough info of what its limitations "at the edges" may be in a complex project…
Started writing the blog post already
Looks great!!! Link your blog?

At a certain point I compiled my own distros, I recommend RFDVL (read first, downvote later).

As a long time Mac user, in my opinion what has historically distinguished the Mac from other platforms is the high degree of UI/UX consistency across applications. Mac users historically valued software products that conformed to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines and tended to shun non-compliant products; this is why Microsoft Word 5.1 was so well-received by classic Mac users while Microsoft Word 6 was rejected…
I started using Macs 5-6 years ago due to the companies I was working at providing Macbooks and maybe my intuition is ruined by Windows, but I still find Mac very unintuitive and frustrating. I also use Windows and Ubuntu personally and I like both of these more design, smoothness and animation wise. I feel like everything about the macOS is just weird and the animations are also really weird, like minimizing the win…
Same here. I'm equally annoyed with the animations. Especially when an app requires attention, it keeps demanding it every few seconds by bouncing on the task bar. It's unnecessary distraction and I don't know of a way to stop it without clicking on the bouncy icon and addressing its need.
Far more frustrating, however, is the inconsistent window management. Mac is very unintuitive (coming from Windows). If I have multiple windows of an app open, I can't switch to the right window with Cmd + Tab. It opens the window in the same desktop. It's annoying as hell! A four finger swipe always takes me to the next desktop and there's no way to swipe between the apps on the same desktop (a three finger swipe in Windows).
And while this might be in equal parts Microsoft's fault, but MS apps like Teams just suck. When I'm on a different desktop than the one containing Teams, it takes me three clicks to open up the damn window. In some apps, Cmd + Right arrow will advance the cursor by a word and in most others, all the way to the end of the sentence.
I still fail to understand the allure.

#120Unrealistic. The UI is faster than my mac's.
What ancient hardware are you using where the macOS UI is actually slow?
