Not the op, but I was shocked to see how much effort was required to disable mouse acceleration on a mac. Dragging the slider to 0 doesn't do it. Editing the plist doesn't do it. You need to install some custom mouse driver with kernel extensions to have 1:1 mouse movement.

What's the use case here?

This is the kind of thing I mean, though.

The Windows UI is shockingly tweakable. You can buy programs to do all sorts of things, e.g. multi monitor assistants.

With OS X, Apple's way is fantastic, but if you want to step outside it you're in trouble.

The Unix underlying OS X was strictly superior, although now there's WSL it's much less of an advantage.

Yeah, but what is the use case here? I mean, the author pointed out that it's possible to do, but who needs to do this and why?

I don't know. I think GP is nuts. But when I have my own weird use case I expect people to think I'm nuts, too.

That's kind of the point though?

It's nuts, but you can still manage to do it. Maybe a handful of people would ever actually need to do it, so why would it be a default, or even an option people might accidently set?

Right, it's a different philosophy. I think the OS X way is on the whole better, it's just not my preference.
