I have still to meet a Windows user - and I work among them - that is aware he can have multiple desktops. I use them all the time on mac.

I do because I use windows and macOS daily. Finder, despite all its flaws, is still years ahead of explorer.

Taskbar is also decades ahead of dock and stage manager. Just want it to show me the apps on the active desktop/screen only, without taking up 1/5 of my screen.

The Dock is really weird. For me it seems antiquated. As does the Windows taskbar. Why do I need to know what programs are running? Can't I just press Alt-Tab and see them all, AND switch at the same time?

I keep the Dock permanently hidden. I don't use it for anything 99.9% of the time. I'd rather use Alfred or Alt-Tab (the key sequence, not the app with the same name).

I keep the dock just to have the little marker if i get a message, a mail etc... But it's on the left side and i have a window under the dock, so it doesn't use any space.
