Oh, but they are. I'm extremely productive on stock macOS, way more than on Windows. I just don't keep complaining that Windows is broken. Some people obviously love it.

> complaining that Windows is broken

You literally brought it up when you told someone facing issues with macOS to use Windows instead. Explaining why people don't do this is not a complaint.

They're talking about my comment that says Windows is not Unix. I think that's a perfectly valid response given the context, but they don't seem to understand why I made it.

On a tangent, I don't see what's wrong with complaining that A ≠ B. Complaining is just the precursor to voting with your feet, and having more or less than competitor offerings is a natural point of comparison in a customer's mind.

Sure, but there’s a limit. You wouldn’t complain that there’s no beef on a vegan restaurant.

The Mac’s thing has always been resizable overlapping windows with a menu bar at the top of the screen. If you’re hoping for a great tiling window manager, you’ll be disappointed. You can kind of get a poor man’s tiling setup with some hacks, but it’s not what the platform is about.

> Everyone is complaining that macOS lacks some fairly basic UX options

What you call "basic UX options" are highly opinionated personal views. I've used Macs since 2007 and haven't used a single one of the dozen or so "basic UX" tools people listed in the discussion.
