to give my data point, whenever I was using windows I could never stop trying to change its workflow because of, well, how unefficient it seemed to me ? After years of trying various distros & DEs, building my own config based on i3, rofi, zsh and a couple other tools which took for the most part a couple afternoons, I could never see myself change for anything else again - especially not that wretched mac thing (I have one on my desk, it feels like every single interaction with that computer takes 10x the time it takes me on my main linux box which makes my blood pressure go way too high :-) )
