As a long time mac user I have zero utilities installed. If you want to turn your mac into windows, maybe just use windows.
At my current job, we're issues MacBooks. My biggest pet peeve of macOS is the grouping of windows behind a single icon on the dock bar. I hate that if I have two Chrome windows open, it takes two clicks to go between them.
With the exception of modals, if a program has multiple windows open, when I should see each of them as its own item on the dock bar (or in Windows, the taskbar). I don't think even Windows makes this an option anymore, but I use WindowBlinds on my personal Win10 computer to give me that behavior while also skinning everything to look like Win2K, because I can't stand the flat aesthetic that's popular right now.
I‘d imagine the dock would look quite ridiculous for someone working on multiple docs, or a slate of images in photoshop, etc.
Anyway try this app for a different method for what you want to do (switch to a specific window): https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/
Right-click the Dock icon (keep holding the button), move your mouse up to the window you want in the menu, then let go to activate that window.
I typically just keep part of each of my windows viable, so I can simply click on them, if I'm going back and forth. So it's still just one click. I got out of the habit of maximizing windows a couple decades ago when I first got a Mac and my first widescreen display.
It does, they added it back into Windows 11.
