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 window animation - what the hell is that? And it's also weird how icons increase nearby when I hover on something, little things like that feel so off about Mac.
As see on this App, when I hover on the icons in the bottom, they jump bigger and it immediately disorientates me. Like why do that? Am I unable to see the icons in any other way that you have to zoom increase them? And that annoying bouncy animation when those apps require attention.
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.
