Cuts both ways too. I am finding Windoews harder due to using the mac as daily driver. Haven't got the hang of finder yet. I use CLI as much as possible making use rare enough not to master.

Goes for Linux too.
I have the flexibility to adjust to platforms other than macOS but I’d rather not have to. My setup works for me and having to change it is annoying and drags down productivity.
In my case it’s more intense than usual because I’m a visual person and my productivity suffers for things like my desktop environment, theme, etc not looking “right”. When using Linux for anything more “serious” than studying with Anki I get pulled down a bottomless rabbit hole of trying to “fix” everything, which is futile because many of the problems can’t be fixed without a huge number of project forks.
Recent editions of MacOS look so bad that Windows might actually be better designed (if it weren't for all the windows ads and spam).
Gnome is starting to become the nicest desktop environment lol.
I've never seen the appeal of GNOME 3+, the design seems so user-hostile to anyone who has used computers for a while: hiding menus for no reason, having super limited menu options, etc.
I'd rather use LXDE, XFCE, or KDE.

I’ve not been a fan of the Liquid Glass changes, but it’s similar enough that I’ve been able to get used to it.
Fluent on Windows doesn’t look too bad but MS hasn’t made particularly great use of it and parts of the OS still don’t use it.
GNOME/Adwaita get some things right, and other things wrong (the padding everywhere is way too thick, its crusade against menu bars is odd). It’s also so minimal that it makes macOS look maximalist, and as such isn’t my cup of tea.

Nope. Not even close.
Yeah the Mac GUI has declined.
But it’s still far better than the incoherent mess of the last 15 ways MS were totally the future mashed together in random places.
Windows has had great points. 95 era was fantastic. 2000 too, and I liked XP though third party apps went nuts.
Modern Windows is none of those. I’ll keep my somewhat messed up Mac.
