Why I hate Macs

I am not discussing program differences, that is unfair as a program could be developed for either platform and it is skewed based on the needs of the individual, and it is a metric that is constantly changing over time, unlike a version of the operating system itself, which is constant. Multiplat programs are fair game though.
Nor am I discussing theories of design schema, that method of argument leads to ambiguity which leads to bias.
I will evaluate things entirely on the capability to do something (right click and left click at the same time and have both register separately) or in time saved (shift+delete, enter to clear a file in windows versus right click, move to trash, right click the trash, empty trash, then click to confirm in mac.) Or in comfort (using the apple key as the central operating key) or in ease of understanding (many of the modifier keys are not labeled with the symbol programs refer to them by, only the apple key is)

Pressing enter renames an item in the finder instead of opening it, you need to hit apple+o, waste of keystrokes and time moving hands back and forth

The context menu has no rename option

The context menu does not work in file save dialogs

When a file menu has a submenu, clicking on the submenu does not open it, it closes the entire menu.

High cost for inferior sweatshop based hardware. $1200 base price for roughly $600 in parts (EDIT: No longer Sweatshop based after everyone forced apple into investigating Foxconn working conditions, so now it's just overpriced.)

No delete file key command (in later versions, it's command+delete, why would you DO THIS instead of just delete?), no way to skip the trash. To delete a file you must right click, send to trash, right click trash, empty trash, and click to confirm. In Windows, Shift + Delete then Enter.

Fullscreen maximized windows are discouraged in favor of a set of loose floating windows, and if you click between them, you lose focus to the desktop, which can sometimes make subwindows to some programs also, it is impossible to truly maximize a window, only make it take up a larger portion of the screen.

Long path to the program listings (3 clicks versus windows 2, linux 1). Bottom dock works weird, not like windows/linux taskbar. I cannot describe how yet. It wastes a ton of vertical space due to its design of making the program icons large. I cannot bear to have it autohide, same as with the windows taskbar. Also annoying is how it seems like a loose element rather than a type of anchor at the bottom of the screen. However I like that force quit is there rather than just a close option. Faster than going through the task manager to get the process to close.

Apple+q and apple+w appear to have replaced alt+F4. Eh. This would be alright if ctrl+q quit finder windows, it doesn't. This would also be alright if ctrl+w were to close an application when all the windows are terminated. It doesn't. Also it leads to dysfunction between closing opened files and closing open windows. I lost the composition windows that way in after effects without closing the file.

delete(backspace) does not go up one level in the finder, back button goes to the last folder, not up a level. There is no key command to go up a level

Photoshop in mac cannot pan the image past the edges of the window, even when zoomed in greater than the window dimensions

There are only a few ways to display folder contents, versus the large number available in windows/linux

Having the menu bar on top and be specific to the focused application, at first glance this appears to be a neutral change, no gain, no loss, but then I noticed people clicking to the desktop finder so they could access system settings. Fuck. That. That and frankly, I prefer having as many static elements as possible for the sake of reliability of access. I don't want to waste clicks changing application focus so I can access different program's menu bars. Also, windows has the edge in space saving for adobe programs because it combines the menu and title bar, whereas mac doesn't, it still has a title bar. Not to mention how annoying this is for programs that have a sidebar like skype or adium. You need to first focus the window, then scroll the mouse to the other side of the screen to reach the menu bar. Who designs this shit?

No clickable button that minimizes all windows and goes directly to the desktop.

When you have a file open dialog on a webpage, you cannot paste in a URL to grab a file from your temporary internet files, you need to save the image and then find it on your computer again

Using the apple key as the effective replacement for control is not ergonomic, it requires lifting the hand off the keyboard, breaking flow from a natural typing position. There is a reason that most games do not bind to alt and this is it.

The mac's control key and alt key overlap in function a lot and for me creates a confusing disconnect between which of the two is supposed to be pressed for a given key command.

Cannot right click and left click simultaneously on the default mouses, probably cannot distinguish between the two as separate inputs.

Function keys are set to system functions by default instead of program functions (but hey, my laptop was too, and I was able to disable that.). I am still not sure what key toggles this.

The sidebar in the finder only displays preset locations, not customizable except to choose what of the presets does and does not display. Cannot get a folder view on the sidebar. This is versus the windows version which provides access to the same central locations on the sidebar with folders below them. W7 adds favorites and libraries which make it more customizable. Linux has half a million things you can do on the sidebar of course (about half those options are close to useless of course, but they're there if you want them). It gets worse, what if you're moving things into a different hierarchy of files, like from my pictures to my public folder of my dropbox. There is no way to do this in a single window.

Apple+z after accidentally making a new folder does not delete the new folder. It does something else that is not useful.

Right clicking the background of a folder in the finder and clicking new folder does not make a new folder in the folder you right clicked in, it makes it in the currently selected folder. This lead to me having to delete 3 folders in the wrong places.

When trying to select multiple files in sequence you cannot click, hold shift, then click on a later file and expect all the files inbetween to be selected. Holding shift functions like holding control in windows, it lets you select multiple individual files, but not files in sequence.

No way to display the file path, no way to input it. NO FILEPATH, GUI ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION.

In yes/no dialog boxes, the arrow keys cannot be used to select between options, only the mouse. So if I want to hit ctrl+w to close a file and it asks me if I want to save before closing, and I don't want to save, I need to switch to using the mouse. This applies to every dialog box which uses text buttons. (Apparently there is a setting which fixes this problem, but it's stupid for having this setting off by default.)

Can ONLY sort files in detail view mode in the finder, no options for sorting in any other view mode.

Way more accessibility options in windows, mouse keys and keyboard shortcuts and onscreen keyboard.

Window focus works weird. If I start to open a new program, then focus another, I can work in the other until the new program pops up. The new program is not given focus, but still floats in front of the program which actually has focus.

The clock does not display the date on tooltip.

Closing a window or all windows does not necessarily close the process, consuming processor power if left unchecked.

Programs are not intelligent enough to realize to open 100 files in the same window rather than 100 separate windows.

You cannot have the dock configured to display separate windows, only programs.

Macs ship with a disabled firewall.

Dock does not display names next to icons and cannot be configured to do so.

Cannot copy paste from or to widgets

Cannot drag items from one window to another unless both are on the screen and arranged to not overlap the fields you are dragging too and from. In windows or linux you can drag an item, hold it over the icon on the taskbar to focus the window, then drop it in that window, very useful for fullscreen applications like after effects and photoshop.

Cannot double click and drag using the track pad (or worse, triple click and drag) (single click and drag does not drag files, it only moves the cursor) so to drag files you must press down to click the button and hold your finger down lest the file be lost in the ether between windows, while also moving your finger. Apple does not even make the consideration to add a separate mouse button, independent of the trackpad to make this any easier.

A lot of combo boxes don't accept arrow key input (like font lists) so you can't try out fonts by scrolling with the arrows, you need to use the mouse to click each individual one.

When dragging a folder onto a duplicate you are given the options of replacing the entire folder and all its files or canceling, there is no option to skip the replacement of existing files or to rename in a duplicate conflict.

No right click option on folders in the finder to "open a folder in a new window". it either opens the folder in the same window, or it doesn't open it.
