A software developer spent two weeks using Windows as a primary machine after two decades on macOS, finding Windows adequate for productivity in some areas but ultimately preferring Apple's operating system due to superior keyboard shortcuts and preferred applications like Things 3. The author identified significant usability challenges with Windows, including inconsistent keyboard binding remapping and the absence of macOS's intuitive command-key workflow, though acknowledging that macOS itself has flaws including cursor stuttering with wireless mice and unreliable network file sharing.
