    Mac has an absence of window management. it’s like the product owner stopped thinking halfway through the desktop experience and handed it over to the intern.

    when demo day came the PO saw it and was shocked at how horrible it was but had to sell it to save their own ass.

    they opened the whole demo with, “I want you to think about this experience and stop, then…think differently.”

      Is there, but it’s behind shortcut keys, gestures, right clicks, or force presses.

      There’s also a bunch of tricks that become second nature, especially on smaller laptops. The trackpads really make windowing less of a hassle. I just swipe around and occasionally zoom out on an app (which shows all windows) largely without thinking.
