Impressions from a first-time Mac user
There's a lot of people in comments defending macOS saying that the difference in switching between operating systems will lead to a bad experience no matter what and people just need to power through and learn the new system.<p>I'll say that I've used Windows and macOS both personally and professionally for two decades now (longer for Windows).  I'd consider myself a power user in both OSes, I know the keyboard shortcuts, I know the OS settings somewhat in depth, and I've used a lot of the common tools to extend each OS.<p>My experience is that Windows has far better UX for pretty most end users.<p>I have 4 monitors connected to my Windows computer.  I just plugged them in and it worked.  I've burned hours fighting with external monitors on macOS.  Is it even possible to have 4 external monitors?  Actually you can extend this to all sorts of peripherals.<p>Windows explorer feels way more productive than finder.  It still bothers me that I can't cut and paste folders by default.<p>I revert to the command line way more on macOS than I do on Windows.  That's a skill that your average user isn't going to have.<p>I found my old Oregon Trail 3 CD two months ago and decided to play it.  I had to navigate a few context menus but this 1997 game booted right up on Windows, how many hoops do you think I'd have to jump through to run a Mac OS 8 application on my MacBook Pro?<p>And there's a bunch of other examples I could give.  There's a lot of reasons people like Apple products and if the interface works for you, great!  But I don't think it's fair to dismiss critiques as ignorance of lack of ability.
