    • I have not heard the fans once in over a year of heavy use, I’m starting to doubt they exist. Fan noise is a far more prevalent issue with Windows machines so I’m very curious to know how you’ve managed to convince the fans to spin up at all, let alone at a high volume.
    • No window snapping is a glaring omission, but easily resolved with a 3rd party app.
    • Fortunately as a programmer I hardly use Finder, but yes it’s not very intuitive.

    I could list fifty problems each with Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but am comfortable enough with all of them because I adapt to their weaknesses (the ones that can be adapted to anyways).

      Also a programmer :) I still wanna be able to actually browse my file system with a GUI at times. I don’t think “oh but you could just use the terminal” is an acceptable solution to such a monumental part of an OS

      Dunno how you manage that with the fans. Everyone where I work has the same complaint. It was even worse at my old job that used the intel macbook pros that were before the m1, the fan was even louder and would always stick to 100% after a while, like it couldn’t adjust itself and just ran at full speed. We couldn’t really solve it either.

      Anyways, the os is just way to clunky and developer-unfriendly for me. We’re actively trying to get new laptops so that we can finally ditch these macbooks. Maybe if we were frontend-only they would be more suitable?
