alt Hacker NewsThe multitasking is awesome (especially window and monitor management, it's a huge improvement over W10), everything is snappy, the ARM64 battery life (especially in standby) is Macbook-like, I never have issues with USB-C docks and monitors (unlike Fedora where I always have to tinker with the terminal at some point), and the Windows version of Microsoft Excel is still unmatched.
There have also been great updates to PowerToys recently that I wish were easily available on other systems, but that's not a W11 specific thing.
Finally, I really like the UI (but that's obviously subjective! and if you really care about customization, Linux clearly is the best pick for you).

Standby is broken since the push from S3 to s2idle, this was a wintel move. On windows my laptop would die after a day until I finally forced standard S3 behaviour. After the switch back to S3 it lasts a week again and the resume time difference is negligible.
My Lenovo dock ethernet has gone from not working on Linux and being fine on windows to the other way around.
I do not share your enthusiasm. And since dumped windows entirely after the latest update. Last time I installed windows it took me longer to disable all adds and spyware than to actually install it, another reason for switching.
I don't think you ever tried using something truly snappy and responsive, this statement couldn't be farther from the truth.
