macOS defaults are TERRIBLE

A comprehensive critique of macOS default settings and configurations, covering issues with excessive animations, poor window management, Finder limitations, and bloated dock behavior. The author demonstrates various third-party tools and system modifications to improve the Mac experience, including Raycast for search, alternative terminals like Ghostty, window managers like Yabai and Aerospace, and custom configurations to reduce visual effects. Despite the criticisms, the author acknowledges benefits like excellent battery life and compatibility with professional software like Final Cut Pro.
