Except they didn't. How many phones with keyboard are there?

Edit: obviously I'm talking about popular ones.

I'm not an Android expert but when I click a link in an email it opens the preview via Firefox (I've set it as the default browser). Is it another thing?

The buttons have a tooltip with a short explanation.

You should add 2017 in the title.

If a text editor is enough for some programming languages it doesn't mean that the editor is an IDE.

I haven't argued with encapsulation part so I don't know why you spent time writing this and accusing me. You should read carefully.

I can tell you many other wisdoms: code should be tested, code shouldn't contain bugs, everything should be done before deadline, etc.

The thing is in reality it's not that easy.

> Either they're straight up lying, or it is in fact possible to resolve things with a single meeting.

Something can be done in a single meeting but not everything. But you gave me only two alternatives without anything between so there is another useful link for you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

It should be like that but in practice sometimes other team just too busy to implement required feature. I can say my PM that we have to wait for a month but in reality I will have to implement it myself.

> There should be maybe one meeting

Oh sweet summer child

Totally agree. I don't see how microservices would solve this. Also monorepository doesn't mean that service is monolith.

Blame extension devs not Firefox. I agree on the video performance though.

Firefox has a homescreen widget with a search bar. My web view browser is also Firefox. My phone isn't Pixel though.

It's broken.

> I can switch from my desktop to my laptop, even to my phone, and pick up right where I left off with uncommitted changes, long running processes, etc.

Valid only while you have a (good) internet connection.

Did everyone clap?

Expose doesn't show fullscreen windows of an app.

> as they’re stably ordered left to right

Only if you unchecked 'Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use' in the settings.

Again, proof me wrong.

We don't discuss who was the first.

> It sounds like you aren't quite familiar with how a Mac works.

Another "you're holding it wrong" moment. Windows has better window management even from gestures perspective. Proof me wrong.

> But as soon as you try to "make it yours", suddenly you'll find yourself with a second day job with no pay, you'll wonder where all your free time went, and your muscle tone will be gone.

It's true for every OS. I went Windows -> Linux -> MacOS and I had to get used to every time.

> Making a simple tweak like setting caps lock to an extra ctrl is a whole side quest on Linux

I've remapped CapsLock to Esc on both macOS and Linux/GNOME. It's just a checkbox/combobox in a settings in both cases. What is 'a whole side quest' you are talking about?

There is Rectangle which is free and open source.

Also there is Touch-Tab (disclaimer: I'm the developer) to switch apps with 3-finger swipe left/right.

> That’ll switch spaces

On Windows it's 4-finger swipe left/right but it's not possible to switch between apps on macOS via gestures without 3-rd party apps. That's why I didn't get that 'compromise on UX' statement. MacOS gesture support is poorer compared to Windows (at least for my workflow) but on the hardware side Mac's Trackpad is superior.

Unfortunately _entering_ Mission Control doesn't switch apps. On Windows it's a 3-finger swipe left/right. It seems like 'one of the bigger strengths of the Mac' is bigger on Windows.

1. How can I switch between apps using gestures?

2. What essential features of 'gesture based window management' aren't present on Windows or Linux (GNOME for example)?

> millions of happy and productive users

So have Linux and Windows. I just didn't get that 'compromises' statement about them.

MacOS window management is one of several things that make users 'compromise on UX' so you should reconsider your statement.
