It's intuitive, it's highly customizable about what apps you want, it works well with macOS quirks (like showing what programs are open even when all windows are closed), the autohide works well if you feel it occupies too much space (even though you can also adjust size to the milimeter) and you need some app launcher because the menu bar is for menus (duh).

Minimize that shit now so I'll can see what happen then.

>>58440245
Windows bar is better than this shit.

>>58440245
>needing an app launcher
Just drag the application folder into your dock

>>58440293
It's all about taste. Personally I prefer the benefit of having unified menus throughout all the apps, so the dock becomes a necessity.

It's a pretty decent quick-launch / task management hybrid. But I always moved mine to the left (Ubuntu style) where the pixels seem much better utilised.

>>58440122
I've literally never used macOS, how does that dock work? what's the behaviour?
Is it like the Windows 7/10 taskbar?

You can make it smaller, you know...

Ever heard of autohide? You can hide it and make it show up when you move your mouse down.

For some reason the name macOS really triggers me. I have nothing against the OS itself and had no issues when it was called OSX.

Maybe it's related to the recent influx or macOS anime posters. I can't put my finger on it.

Yeah, it's similar to the windows taskbar.

It shows all the applications that are either pinned to the dock or are currently running on the left side. Any windows that you've minimized are on the right side.

By default, it's always at the bottom of the screen, but you can have it only appear when you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen, to maximize available space.

It has worked like this since the 1984 Mac. Same with other oddities like the single button, dragging drives to the trash to eject them and the folder merge behavior.

And anyways I'm pretty sure the default action from El Cap and up is to fullscreen it; a concession to Windows.

OSX is a joke that girls and liberal arts faggots took seriously.

I'm legally retarded so I have the menu bar and dock auto-hide in OS X and the task bar auto-hide in Windows.

Then I put each new set of windows in a separate desktop. Usually no more than two or three windows per desktop. Or one full screen one. Then I swap between the desktops as needed. I do this so that there is very little difference between the two environments.

The classic Windows taskbar, with the setting "Never collapse" is by far superior to the dock. At a glance you can see all your open windows, not just open applications. You can select the precise window with one click.
Compare this to macs, where you have to first click the icon, then click the window.

If you collapse your Windows windows then they're basically the same though

>>58446580
>At a glance you can see all your open windows, not just open applications
you seem to fundamentally misunderstand why macs work that way (open/close applications not just windows). not surprising considering you've likely never used macos for longer than 10 minutes.

I throw up a little every time I see someone using this feature. I wouldn't be able to stand all the arbitrary icons of different windows in different states filling up my dock.

And I'm one of the (you)s. Fuck you.

>>58451022
Basically, I use only chrome, a file browser and the screenshot tool. That's what I have the dock for, it's a quick launcher for these 3.

The launcher on the other hand has very low reveal sensitivity and only in the top left corner, nearly impossible to open with the cursor,
so it only opens with the win key, and when the launcher is open it kinda blurs the screen and it's more like the app drawer in android, you can't even see the open apps on the taskbar.

And when I have to change the application I don't do it on the taskbar neither the dock but I have set the bottom left hotcorner to show all windows or i hit the touchpad with 3 fingers and it swaps the focused app with the last used one.

>>58440318
>click folder icon

also, anyone with common sense uses spotlight to open apps. the dock, or cmd-tab, function as a way to see what applications you have running, and to occasionally access minimised windows.
