   You say that your experience of Mac was using Snow Leopard: that   
   version was current 16 years ago.  You're a very long way out of date   
   to be passing comments about modern macOS.   
      
   In what way was that ancient version quirky?  Do you mean "different   
   from Windows"?  Perhaps it required too much of a mental gear-shift   
   to become properly accustomed to the Mac way of going about things.   
   To be fair, it did take me a couple of days to be comfortable with it   
   when I first migrated to Mac from Windows via Mandrake Linux.
