Recent versions of Windows have gotten pretty good at identifying programs that aren't responding and offering to close them; it's gotten pretty rare that I actually have to open Task Manager to close a program. macOS, on the other hand, never offers to kill a hanging program-- it'll let an application beach ball for hours until you go out of your way to force quit it via the Dock or keyboard shortcut.

At any rate, the applications that make up most of my daily work are all really stable these days-- we've come a long way since the Classic MacOS and Windows 9x days where application (and OS) crashes and freezes were a daily occurence.
