Why i switched back to Windows

Posted by mikeg on January 23, 2009

  • angle of screen on MBP
  • no Alt+ accelerators on dialogs
  • Alt+Tab
  • Funky behavior of Finder and delete functionality
  • No easy way to copy path of folder form Finder
  • no page down on keyboard and shift+page down doesn’t select text all the way down
  • behavior of Finder (delete of files moves selection to folder which looses my place, move, ovewrite folder)
  • no way to paste path of folder into File Selection dialogs
  • many apps do not remember last Folder
  • Insane Shift+Arrow select behavior in Finder and other places
  • Eclipse
    • no support for Alt+ which makes Find/Replace dialog hard to use
    • inconsistent Shift+PageUp/PageDown
    • Command is used for Copy/Page, Ctlr+Tab is used to switch b/w docs, Alt+Shift is used to select boundaries — too many “finger gestures”
