It was one of the things I found amusing my first time using OS X after growing up on Windows. Enter would “enter” a folder or execute a program, while Return in Finder starts renaming the file.

I’m not sure where your figures are coming from, did you mean at the moment of posting your comment?

Lots of games still come out broken on PC to the point where it’s a worse experience, like UE4 games having shader compilation stutter.

They do post their video scripts as articles with the relevant screenshots. It’s not quite the same as a text-first article, but I prefer reading.
