> Another thing is type-ahead. I remember in classic MacOS, people pressed shortcuts and started to type the filename or whatever. It was all perfectly recorded and replayed. In modern Windows, press Win-key and start to type, oops, it missed the first keypresses, presented the completely wrong results and made a mess of your workflow.

The arguably worst offender in MacOS these days is the emoji picker. Press ctrl+cmd+space, and depending on how recently you opened it, it can take some hundreds of milliseconds to open (on an m1). All while eating your keypresses.

Yes, this one is particularly weird.

How can a grid of unicode characters take 500-1000ms to display on a machine with an m1, 16GB of memory and a blazing fast NVME disk?

Huh. I didn't know this existed.
