Just a rant. Since using a Mac I question why all the hype about using Macs over Windows. There are interface problems that persist that no one is reviewing and irritate the hell out of me. And then some problems are probably just personal preference...
- On Date & Time preferences, why do I need to "unlock to make changes", and then untick "Set date and time automatically" (which lags by the way), just to view other months on my calendar?
- If for some reason a script on my browser takes awhile to run, my cursor clicks go mental. E.g. if I click on a file to rename it, Mac immediately unfocuses my highlight, so quickly that I can't rename my file. Or if I highlight a file, I lose my highlight almost immediately. There must be something wrong with the multi-threading...
- When I minimize a window, why does a new window get created in my dock?
- Can't resize images in Outlook. Microsoft hurry up with the update.
- The closest thing to a Notepad++ (free text editor) I could find for Mac is Brackets, which is lacking alot of features.
- Fn+F11 is NOT how I want to shimmy to Desktop (given minimizing is not an option either), give me a handy button in the Dock.
- Opening programs in the Dock require only a single-click to open. So I get alot of misfires and get frustrated.
- Format Painter in Microsoft products on Mac are on the top, but on Windows it's in the ribbon. This is more a Microsoft inconsistency issue...
- If I drag a file into a folder on Finder, please put it into that folder, NOT the folder I am currently in. Jeez!
- Scrolling horizontally requires 2 fingers to drag horizontally, which is great, except on a browser this pushes me back a page as well.
- Volume keys randomly stop working. I get the 'restricted' sign instead. "sudo killall coreaudiod" fixes this. What on earth?
