Call it ADHD or what you want, but I tend to experience this a bit more than most people I know. Applying to tech, it's the number one reason Windows 8 didn't work for me. The loss of context when the start screen took over was too disorienting.
I started using a tiling window manager in Linux back around 2012 and I won't ever go back. Overlapping windows were a terrible UI decision. I remember having very early Windows for DOS back on my 286 and remember that those releases didn't have overlapping windows either. Each new running app just split the screen.
Working with a couple coworkers is pretty frustrating because their window management strategy is switching rapidly between active OSX screens with the whole wipe animation too.
This is my setup. Single app/window full screened and sliding between them. I like to focus on one thing at once. Tiling window managers are cognitive overload for me, too much going on at once.
I tried but I die a little each time the swipe animation happens. The Amiga way worked great for me. 1/60s switch time, no animation, fullscreen. Wish MacOS could do away with the animation. Is there a way to config that?
