I live with safari and finder and all my office ware is native (mail.app) or web based (Google Docs). Chat is via slack, but I use the website and not the native app. I've adapted to the quirks and I'd bet that's a lot of the reason why it doesn't feel slow to me. I feel I have plenty of windows open at once but likely less than you do.
Different folks different strokes as they say.
- ant6n 21d agoIf you have to use specialized software to make your system snappy, then it is, as a system, not snappy. The attitude about the MacBook is that it never slows down … what, unless you use MS office?
- unsnap_biceps 19d agomy point was I'm not using specialized software, I'm using the software shipped with the system. MS Office isn't Apple Software, so holding apple responsible for Microsoft code quality seems counter to your first point.
- ant6n 12d agoIf I have Office stuff open and the whole system crawls, then the system isn’t snappy. It’s like the claim is “get a Mac and you’ll never see a slow down ever again! Just as long as you run software that won’t make the whole system come to a crawl”
- jen20 18d agoQuite a stretch to call the browser and email client that ships with the OS “specialized”.
- ant6n 12d agoOnly using built in software is indeed a specialized use case for an OS. The point of an OS is to run any software.
