> Mac just works and apps look gorgeous.

Not for me - it still feels like, UXwise, it's stuck in the earl 2000s.

We're in 2022, and no window snapping? Randomly rearranging workspaces/desktops? Forgetting which apps are on which monitor whenever it goes to sleep? Inconsistent shortcuts + lack of used-defined global shortcut assignment? Inability to set mouse acceleration?

Just how low are your expectations?

I dislike it too but tbh, I'm single and not using a mac is a big turnoff for some women so I'll be avoiding linux and windows until I get married

Can't you do this from System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts?

I know third-party apps are not as good as native support, but here are my recommendations in case anyone is interested. Both worth their price.

I've been a happy Divvy [0] user for years.

BetterTouchTool [1] can customize mouse acceleration beyond what user can do in System Preferences.
