Dear Apple, You made an amazing UI but Windows sure does beat you in terms of ease of use.

So my company provided us with Macbooks, I've been a windows users for almost 7-8 years now.

The thing I want to rant about is how we cannot switch between same application windows in full screen.

In Windows, you press tab, voila, the other full screen window. For instance, I want to use 2 google chrome "full" size windows, I cannot just press tab and view the other one, Like whaaaat!
There should be a provision to use the other window of the same application.

The same thins is so easily done in windows machine.

    option + tab? Or if you have a MacBook three finger swipe on trackpad. Two finger swipe on Apple mouse.

    Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean you can't.

    It's mac, you can do basically everything with a shortcut except shut down for some reason.

    Also get Magnet, it'll let you snap windows properly and with more options than in Windows

    There are many general productivity tools for MacOS that are well worth the cost, imo. For window handling, Divvy is brilliant. It allows you to draw window sizes and set local or global hotkeys for various window arrangements.

    @dootlurk not sure if this works in recent versions of macOS (I haven't updated in... a while), but I use the following for shutdown:

    Ctrl+F2 (highlight Apple menu)
    Down arrow (open menu)
    S (highlight shutdown option)
    Enter x2 (select shutdown option and dismiss confirmation dialog)
