I agree with you about macos design. I'm not a fan of it either. It's garish with over the top animations. The window manager is dreadful. Track pad gestures are great though as is spotlight search.

Eh, I'm not a fan of the trackpad gestures either. I much prefer a keyboard-driven workflow, and the Rectangle app has been way better than anything builtin to macOS, and that just recreates features in Linux and Windows.

Spotlight search is way better than Linux and Windows equivalents, but it's also solving a problem I don't have. When I launch it, 99% of the time I want to launch an app, and the rest is just noise to me. I've tried just using the app drawer search thing, but that's an extra step.

It gets out of the way better than Windows, but it still gets in the way more than I'd like.
