Why is OS X.XI.III so comfy?
nobody calls it that. not even apple.
You are actually retarded. gz

OSX is horrible
>f5 doesn't refresh safari
>"command" h doesn't replace, "command" f does
>No alt tab
>desktop hides things (like my sister's assignment)
>nothing ever closes
>my sister just doesn't know how to minimise/maximise windows
All this shit works identically on both Windows and every Linux DE. Its just the standard shit Apple has to do differently, it's not innovative, its wrong and unintuitive.
OSX is objectively the worst OS.

Definitely unintuitive
Some things on top of that

It's quite comfy but there are some real issues that Apple doesn't seem to give a shit about, window management is just slow and shitty. Here's what I've learned from my Hackintosh. (Fun to make btw.)
NEGATIVES
To maximise a window half way you literally have to click and hold on the maximise button. It looks like they ripped it straight from Windows but it's crap. The default response to double clicking a window title bar is to expand vertically for some reason. Cutting files is disabled but drag and drop isn't. The dock is also just a slow way to manage program windows. Apple expected you to just throw shit into a million virtual desktops. Why the hell should Launchpad be a full screen program to select apps? A PC is not an iPhone, you can have room to open apss and have multiple windows open. I personally just use spotlight search with a hotkey to open apps. I just wanna drag windows to the side of my screen and have them maximise. Also disabling grid based icons is just messy and so is having an "All Files" library to display every file you have.
POSITIVES
Comes with Perl, Ruby, Python and Apache pre-installed. The most gorgeous Unix environment out. (Don't post screenshots of your Linux build, the Numix icon set is boring.) App icons are required to be massive so when you do things like alt+tab, you get nice, sharp, huge icons to select. File searching is fast all of your documents are automatically indexed. Side note but XCode makes it really easy to make nice looking programs on iDevices, leagues ahead of shit like Android Studio and unlike Windows, your OS isn't bloated with useless shit and legacy system tools.
All in all, it's quite easy to get used to and there are probably workarounds to a lot of things you don't like.

Because they had the user experience on their mind while doing it ... and people with understanding of ergonomics and design.
Windows feels like each of it's elements are decided by anonymous surveys that ignore the previous results. It's a horrible mess.
Linux DEs either copy Windows and make it even worse or sometimes come with own ideas ... that show that they shouldn't have bother. Though to be fair, once you spend few hours and adjusted it to your likings, it comes pretty close, and Unity has potential.

>it's unintuitive because my India OS does it different
>>53587802
It's unintuitive because every os does it different, and every other does it the same. Do you have a fucking reading comprehension problem?
>>53586759
There is alt+tab and you don't have to use the default web browser.
>>53587829
>every other does it the same
Because they mostly copy the other shit OS? If you been eating with your fingers all the time and start eating with a fork and a knife it's unintuitive too at start.
"I am used to shit, so if an other program does things in a non shit way, it's bad" is the attitude why software progresses so slowly.

Have you ever done any engineering courses? Have you heard anything about "industry standards"? Better question, have you graduated high school?
>>53588126
What do Industry standards matter?
Apple doesn't aim selling Macs to Windows users of Linux users. You go in knowing it's something different.
>>53588126
>there are industry standards in UI design a company has to follow
Just stop, anon.
>>53586410
Because it just works, unlike GNU/Linux that needs tweaking up the ass to even install or not screen tear constantly, or Windows that needs fifty million drivers, several anti-spying measures, shitty update system and clunky as fuck everything.
It's like a fusion between the best parts of GNU/Linux and Windows. All the proprietary software from Windows, with the UNIX terminal, useful package manager and terminal utilities.
>>53588231
>I've never had a job as a UX dev
There are ways to do things that users just expect, you are a bad dev if you don't do what the user expects.
No, you stop. You stop being ignorant.
>>53588262
Nope, it's like the fusion of the worst parts of Linux and Windows. It's not customizable like Linux but doesn't have the software supply of Windows
>>53588284
But this is exactly the reason why OSX is so good, you fucking faggot. 3rd party software perfectly interlinks with the OS and always works the way you would expect, the UI elements are very similar, whether you code or edit your MLP porn.
>>53588331
You are having some serious problems understanding my gripe with OSX, aren't you?
>>53588367
Not at all, it's you who have a problem to understand that because you have trouble to adjust to something new and different, it doesn't mean that "new = bad"
If you switch from your 3310 Nokia to a smartphone it all works different too, shocking eh?
>>53588452
You realise new and unique being unequivocally a good thing is a horrible post-modernist mindset that's essentially pandering to the weak human's obsession with feeling like a unique snowflake?
New isn't always bad, but when its inconvenient it absolutely is.
>>53588452
Not that guy, but usually too many people excuse something being shit by saying "it's just different". Yes, it might be different, but that doesn't make it not shit. You need an argument for it being good instead, saying it's different proves nothing.
>>53586759
>it's bad because some keyboard shortcuts don't do the same thing as in Windows
Heh okay buddy.
>>53588489
>new and unique being unequivocally a good thing
Was never said by me. New for the sake of new if why Win 8 was so cancerous, OSX is only "new" if you were stuck using a single OS. It's perfectly consistent from update to update. (Unlike Windows and many Linux DEs that tend to make wilder changes for the sake of it.
>>53588495
>You need an argument for it being good instead
Not exactly, good is pretty subjective when talking about design, my point is less about how based OSX is and more about how dumb it is to use "it's different from what I am used to" as criticism.
You can just turn around his entire argument and bitch about Windows/Linux doing things not the same as OS.
Going by the millions of people who like using OSX and minimal complains about UI, it's safe to say that it's objectively good. Whether it's way of doing things is better or not is a lot more complicated to determine.
