Honestly, that's a terrible workflow for me. Due to the nature of my work, many times I need to tile 2, 3 or 4 windows on the same screen so I can view them all at once. Flicking quickly between them instead of having them all static in front of me is a UX nightmare that gives me eye strain just thinking about it.
I have no idea how people mange to multi task efficiently by flicking and not get headaches, or on desktop with a mouse and keyboard, but maybe Apple thinks most of its customers are content creators who should just be focusing on one app at a time and never need to tile several. I guess I just wasn't meant to be an Apple customer.
For my type of work, I much prefer the Windows/Linux way of having the flicking option for laptops but also great out of the box tiling built in.
You don’t have to flick anything. Windows align against each other and you can position them how you like. You can even configure it to always open specific apps in a particular virtual desktop should you chose.
If you want a full screen app that you flick through like an iPad you can. If you want a mess of windows on one desktop you can use App Exposé to see only the ones from a particular app. If you want a tiling manager you can install one.
If you want to turn off all the gestures you can.
It’s a mature desktop OS that has many ways of doing things.
Yeah, but I don't need any of that swiping most of the time, nor do I wish to install a tiling window manager to do the tiling automatically for me all the time, as I only need the tiling sometimes and I prefer to do the tiling myself.
I just want my OS to give me the option, out of the box, to quickly tile on demand 2 to 4 windows on the same screen in a sane layout that I can choose that's easily resizable to my current needs. That's it.
