From just off the top of my head

- Same text editing shortcuts that work consistently throughout all apps in the system including your editor/IDE, browser, and terminal.

- iTerm2 having so called "legacy full screen mode" that I use exclusively. (I've been searching for something similar for windows/linux for quite some time).

- The general system polish and usability. This is not directly "dev experience", but it's something you interact with while doing development throughout the day and it's just hands down a lot better than anything linux has atm.

Is that about disabling animations? That can be done globally on windows and linux desktop environments.


No, it's about window being in a non-exclusive fullscreen mode. It's fullscreen, but at the same time can be on the background underneath other windows. Looks like this:

Essentially, I always have terminal in the background even when I'm not working acting as my wallpaper.


Ah, that's basically a frameless maximized window. It requires some tinkering but there are tools to force that behavior on other applications; for both windows and various linux window managers.
