I don't "get" this: I switch between Mac and Windows a lot.

If you prefer the way Windows works, just use Windows! Both platforms have their merits.

I totally get this.

At work, my OS is largely dictated by my employer. At home, the choice is mine, but largely influenced by the use case and application availability.

Thus, I do not use any one OS exclusively and and likely never will. I prefer Linux, but find macOS better than Windows for all but one thing: window management. Even Windows 95 absolutely trounces macOS there. I just don't understand how macOS can be so bad at it. Every attempt to make it better (e.g., Spaces and Stage Manager) takes them even further astray.
