I’ve moved away from MacOS for a number of reasons, specificslly the strenghts you highlight I consider weaknesses:

- the oh-so-pretty GUI takes up too much white space, I have little left for actual content. I dont need massive icons with wide spacing since, I need the opposite.

- what is the deal with hiding folders from Finder (like ~/Libraries). Do I honestly need the command line to open this directory?

- every iteration after SnowLeopard I feel their “features” are going backwards and taking away “usability” from me.

- OpenGL stuck on 4.1, Vulkan (Molten) is a 3rd party hack. Seriously?

- its become a case of one step forward, 2 steps backwards.

- I can go on and on, but you get the gist.
