The fact that there isn’t any kind of grid system with expanded windows, similar to Windows, tends to bug me in macOS. It can be convenient at times to use native Linux commands without having to install third-party software (such as Cygwin for Windows). While Mac’s Terminal is probably one of its biggest advantages over Windows, this has quite diminished recently with native bash support in Windows. In Windows, the applications tend to seem very separate from the operating system and not as well-integrated. The integration of applications in the system makes many features feel native to the OS (notes, email, terminal), which is nice. I’m sure there are programs that could make my life easier on macOS, and I’ll come across them as I spend more time on the system. I’ve found that I use the notes program quite often to keep things organized – in fact, I’m even drafting this article in the notes program. I also heard that the Microsoft Office Suite had issues on macOS, but so far I haven’t run into any trouble with it. Overall, I haven’t used a program that I prefer more on macOS other than maybe Source Tree over Tortoise GIT. Tortoise Git – SourceTree (Doesn’t have a merge tool It supports Windows too).Here are the Window’s tools I use, along with macOS equivalents I found that deliver the same features or functions: I’ve been able to use equivalent programs for everything I need to do, but these programs are either the same or less fully featured as the Windows equivalent. For some reason, I could not download applications without entering payment information.Įventually, after some online research, I found a separate registration UI that allowed me to continue without payment information, but every time I try to upgrade the system I am pestered to enter payment information. One thing I had trouble with initially was trying to install applications using the Apple App Store. I also can’t get over how smooth the text looks. The UI scaling for high resolution is also done better than Windows, and everything looks good even at high resolution. I was, however, impressed by the screen resolution and clarity. For example, features such as pinning windows to sides of the screen, dragging a window to the top to maximize, even maximizing at all, were lacking. There are some features of Windows which Mac completely lacks. This could be due to the fact I’m so used to the way Windows does things. My first impression was that macOS didn’t seem as intuitive as I thought it might be. The process was extremely straightforward. I have a 2011 iMac and I've installed Windows on it successfully before.
