>Even though I've used a Mac daily for the past decade or so, I still miss the task bar, and window-oriented GUI of Windows. I still get frustrated on OSX when I minimize a window and have to hunt around for it. I wouldn't switch back because of the underlying crap that is the Windows OS and file system, but I still miss the interface.

OT but have you tried Witch[1] as a task switcher? It switches between windows, which made my life SO much easier

I find Contexts (https://contexts.co/) a better application to do exactly that

Wow, looks like a very polished Witch and then some. The addition to the search looks interesting. Any area or use case thst witch is better? Is it as snappy? I like that Witch is instant.

I remember using Witch, but a very long time ago. I remember stopping using it, though the reason escapes me. I've been using Contexts for what feels a year, and I keep using it. It's that good.
