<p>>The only difference is that the menus, dialogs, file pickers, keyboard shortcuts, and windowing all use native macOS Cocoa APIs.<p>Why would I want native macOS dialogs where the save as dialog can only show 32 characters on the screen at once? I use LibreOffice on Mac mostly because it allows me to use their dialogs instead of the crap macOS ones...</p>

<p>Exactly - they do not GAF because there is no worthy competitor. No one else has a (semi) functional ecosystem...</p>

<p>I know :(<p>I use all 3 for different reasons, but Macbooks are my daily driver because I want an ecosystem. Too bad there are so many ecosystem fails. I want to believe, but this $4T megacorp can't figure out table stakes.</p>

<p>Amazing HW. SW that is stunningly bad. My example that makes me want to divest myself from my all-in on Apple's ecosystem: 
Native save as dialog box with a filename text box that shows (at most) 32 characters on the screen at once. Even with the smallest dialog box width possible, there is room to make the filename more than 64 characters. Resizing the box does nothing. They can't be eating their own dogfood here right? Are they all using Linux? How do they sell this crap to the business segment?? This isn't even a bug - it is just terrible SW UI/UX design.<p>I love my Macbook HW (except for the stupid sharp edge) and the only thing that keeps me from ditching it is that for most documents I work on, I am in LibreOffice, which lets me disable the native save as dialog box and use the works as expected LibreOffice one.<p>To the article, I wonder if a HW person will have the mindset required to fix the glaring holes in their SW. Make the whole damn company eat their own dogfood!</p>

<p>/Agree<p>As a long time techie I understand the desire to approach mediation as a programmatic systems problem, but as a mediator, I'd recommend OP work as a volunteer mediator long enough to realize that mediation is ~90% soft skills.</p>

<p>Real world scenario I witnessed recently:<p>1. subject had a bank account with the ability to link to Zelle<p>2. subject turned on Zelle to receive money from a family member<p>3. several high dollar Zelle transactions were made - subject claims that they were at home with covid and no one had access to her phone<p>4. she calls bank to cancel transactions, bank refunds money<p>5. bank investigates and claims face id and her IP address was used and takes refunds back<p>6. subject takes bank and zelle to court<p>7. Zelle says: we are just a middleman - not our responsibility<p>8. bank claims that it can't investigate where the money went because it was instant transferred<p>9. banks settles for some of the money<p>Conclusion? If you have to use Zelle or Venmo, attach it to a bank account with limited funds in it.</p>
