Interesting so many useful commands, but they didn't have time to fix basics like scroll wheel, so you have to install 3rd party apps to set it independently from the touch pad and then it still manages to swap it around at random times.

Am I the only one who finds macOS so annoying?

I mean the apps for scroll wheel, alt-tab and what not...

The issues I have are touch-dragging with the touchpad, and no window docking. Docking I fixed by buying 'Magnet', touch dragging is still annoying. They have a setting that is supposed to enable 'double tap drag' like windows, but when you let go, it keeps dragging for some random amount of time, making it unusable.

Three-Finger Drag works really well and is surprisingly easy to get used to doing.
