> has always been the “user friendly” one.

Yet trying to get my keyboard to be properly configured on Mac OS is next to impossible. The time I spent trying to get it configured is comical, I just decided to get used that a couple of keys are switched around.

Doing the same on Windows or Linux was pleasantly easy.

Mac OS sacrifices usability in the name of having a "sexy" interface. There's nothing user friendly about it.

A gold plated turd is still a turd.

I think it's more that certain hotkeys are different, and that comes from history... even if you switch ctrl/alt/super around, you still have to have something off. It used to be far worse if you were around for real unix hardware and other systems like Comodore, Atari etc.

Oh no, MacOS just doesn't like the position of the tilde character on my keyboard. Decided that it should be somewhere else.

I'm okay with it beeing anal with the ctrl/super/alt keys. It's just thay MacOS is anal about a lot more things.
