So far in the last year or so, I've heard 0 reasons why I'd even need, want or benefit from Win11 over Win10. Tons of reasons in the negative column though. There isn't even anything to salivate over that might make you think it might be worth it to deal with the other tradeoffs. Hard pass.

I updated to 11 on my laptop but kept 10 on my main machine. I see zero reason to update my main computer to 11. I was willing to give centered start button a try but the fact that you can't turn off grouping of applications in the taskbar is a deal breaker. If I have two firefox windows open I want to know it and to be able to pick which one I want without having to hover my mouse over the icon for a second while the picture of the windows pops up.

So I installed Explorer patcher to get the old taskbar back https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

Other than that the only feature of 11 that I have used is the snap zones. And I guess if I want that I can install the power toy it is based on.

It could be worse. You could be on MacOS where Cmd-Tab switches between apps not windows. I currently have 13 browser windows open (each with 3 to 15 tabs) and another 9 windows of other things (terminal, vscode, etc....) and IMO The Cmd-Tab vs Ctrl-Tab vs Ctrl-Up vs Ctrl-Down suck compared to Windows. I really want to easily switch to the previous window, not the previous app. Command + backtick doesn't work either. It doesn't switch to the previous window. It switches to the previous window "in the same app" which is not actually the previous window as that could be from another app.

When I first switched to Mac I absolutely hated the way the OS handle the alt tab function.

Now I'm a big fan and find it disorienting to go back to Windows but I've been here for 10 years. CMD + ~ all the way.

I've been on a Mac since 2008 so ~13 years. I still hate it, not the mac, just this one poorly designed feature ... and a few others. I don't want to have to stop-pause-think "was the last thing I used in the same app or a different app?" so that I can press the right key. Further, I only want the last window to move to the front, not all windows of the same app. Quite often (50-70% of the time?) I have say 3 VSCode windows, 4 terminals, and 3 browser windows. I need to switch between say a terminal window and a VScode window. ideally when I moved the VSCode window to the front and mostly on the right side of the screen the last terminal would stay visible but instead Cmd-Tab brings all the VScode windows to the front, covering the terminal. It's useless. Cmd+~ doesn't help, that only switches within the same app.
