Is it just me or are Macs generally shitty for actual desktop usage?
I love my rMBP and OS X when just using it "portable". The trackpad gestures are very straight forward and the unix integration helpful.
But when hooking the MBP up to a big monitor with a proper mouse and keyboard it becomes stupidly unusable because so many aspects seem to rely on the trackpad.
>can't zoom with ctrl + zoom or ctrl + mousewheel (huge dealbreaker)
>can't properly organize windows without Windows XP style dragging and dropping or 3rd party software (that's no problem in portable because mostly you'll just use a single window fullscreen and different spaces)
>suddenly realize that cmd+tab will NOT tab through windows but just through programs (which leaves you to manually access these windows using the mouse)
>the bigger the screen, performance becomes generally more choppy, though that's probably due to the shitty Intel Graphics I reckon
anyone else feel the same way? I would like to only have one machine for everything, but so far I'm not convinved a macbook and OS X can replace my Desktop computer, and that's not even due to vidya gaems.

No, I use my RMBP in clamshell mode hooked up to my monitor with a regular keyboard and mouse.
I think you just need to git gud at OSX desu senpai

That's your fault for not buying a Magic Trackpad 2.

I like the trackpad but it's bad for my wrist. It starts hurting after ~2 hours of using it, that's why I usually go back to using a mouse within that time, if I can.

Zoom works fine here on a mac desktop.
Keep holding cmd when cmd-tabbing then press down to list the windows for the selected program.

I guess that works. Still less convenient than the Windows approach of just showing you all Windows imo.

How? I just tried it on safari and preview. Neither Cmd+Scroolwheel, nor Ctrl+Scrollwheel nor Option+Scrollwheel work.

use CTRL then my scrollwheel works. Make sure its enabled in the accessibility settings.

Because you didn't turn it on in the accessibility preferences.
