Yes Mac OS looks cooler I guess, but I’ve found windows very practical.
Just for a simple example: I change to arbitrary folders frequently. Control-L in Explorer, type the path, and I'm there the second I hit return. Done. Finder has a similar method using Command-Shift-G. But not only is the shortcut more awkward but going to the path has a delay. Not a long one. But it's noticeable and annoying.
Oh well. Spotlight does seem to work better than 10/11's built-in search. So maybe it's a wash. Still miss Windows sometimes.
At any rate, I did make one change in MacOS which long term Mac users might find heretical. When using my external mechanical keyboard, I have Command mapped to the Control key. Control (which doesn't get used often) mapped to the Windows / Super key. Alt / Option is unchanged.
It's a bit amazing how much easier this made everything. Most of the usual keyboard shortcuts I had in Windows now map 1:1 on my Mac. Which is great for the muscle memory.
It's not a huge delay in either case. Just a few ms delay. Not really a big deal. But annoying because Explorer is instant and Finder is not.

Not a user or the developer, but happened across this recently.
Edit: found elsewhere on the thread this app that purports to fix it: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/
It’s two different takes on the desktop metaphor—same reason that apps (usually) remain running on macOS even once you’ve closed the last window, which is another difference that often annoys both sides when they have to use the other OS.
