Why do windows users hate OS X?
I haven't tried it before; I like iOS because of its simplicity. I don't like Android or Droid—just the operating system, not the phone itself.
Windows is shut down, OSX is even more restrictive. I favor Linux. I just use Windows for its gaming collection.
I rely on OS X every single day at work, and it’s completely unacceptable. It’s obvious over and over that the design prioritizes appearance over performance. As a power user, it’s far from ideal—especially when compared to Windows or Linux. The need to install extra apps just to get basic features back is frustrating after years of using them. Tasks like saving a tab in Safari or resizing menus feel clunky and confusing. Even simple programs lack the same functionality, wasting time and space. I’m not surprised it feels slow or unreliable; there are countless reasons why this OS falls short, each one making the experience inefficient. By the way, I had this complaint at work too—because I need it for terminal use—and Linux isn’t an option since some programs don’t run well there. OS X is far less capable than Windows 95, and even better than most Linux distros I’ve tried. It struggles with multitasking and power users alike.
The main issue with OSX's performance comes from people being accustomed to Windows. Each operating system offers unique advantages, making it simpler to automate tasks with AppleScript compared to using batch files. While there are tools for Windows, they often don't match the ease of working on macOS.
I've set up a dual boot between Windows and Mac OS X...I rely on both pretty much. I lean toward Windows since that's what I'm familiar with, but OS X works fine—though I struggle to get used to it.
mainly due to lack of awareness, macOS offers a much smoother and better-designed operating system. Windows has persistent issues because it relies on outdated kernels and software consistently. this is why modern UI applications often take a long time to launch even on solid storage, since they may need to switch through numerous apps or layers. more users are familiar with Windows, so people generally prefer what they know. if macOS could be as straightforward to install across all hardware and supported games, many would be willing to pay significantly more for it.
I prefer Windows since I’m familiar with it. Occasionally at school we use a Mac and I have to ask my Mac friends for help with simple tasks (like deleting files, which can’t be done by right-clicking). My comfort with Windows likely comes from being used to it. I don’t dislike OS X—I just haven’t been exposed to it much. Plus, there are many third-party tools available for Windows.
