What about that interminable animation every time you fullscreen a window or switch between fullscreen windows? It should be at least twice as fast and there's not even any way to hack it to speed it up. You just have to live with it. ("reduce motion" changes it to a crossfade but doesn't make it faster) While we're at it, the Dock has always been bad. And the top menu bar was good for the original Macintosh with a t…
I still have to meet anybody that is not at a minimum annoyed by the macos animations. I literally stopped using the spaces feature because of that!. The default animation got me dizzy all the time, but even with that one disabled via accessibility settings they keep a terribly slow fading animation. It's absolutely ridiculous for a professional machine to impose these things on you.

HN has a lot of hate for these animations but I don't think I've ever seen anyone bitching about them elsewhere.
I don’t understand. I wouldn’t consider snapping a first class feature like closing, maximizing, and minimizing. It’s possible that the addition of snapping would confuse some uninitiated users. They wouldn’t understand why the windows lock toward the side of the screen when they drag. The only beef I have with apples windowing system is you can’t remove the finder from alt-tab. There are apps like witch but it is cu…
Windows 11 maximized the annoying desire to do things for me by bringing up this stupid rectangle at the top of my screen any time I move a window, trying to get me to snap it to a side of the screen...
It's like MS hired someone who uses those obnoxious Linux tiling WMs that don't let you do anything except tiling, and that person is trying to force tiling on everyone.
Thing is, damnit, I like overlapping windows!
It is hard for me to imagine what you could mean by "nonexistent window managing system". Obviously Mac OS has a window management system.
People have widely varying preferences when it comes to such things. You seem to be thinking of yours as though they are somehow objective and external to you.
I think with macOS’s design of the dock (resizable, unlike on Windows where the task bar always takes up the whole monitor width,) having one or more windows “full screen” on your desktop feels wrong. There is always some some space left unoccupied to the side of the dock. Apple has a solution for this which is the green dot that puts your app in a separate space to be truly full screen, and you can split screen betw…

Seems like you assume everyone likes window snapping because you do. It’s one of the most annoying aspects of using Windows for me.
