Miss windows?
Most everything that's hard to get used to has a third-party solution. I personally missed Windows™ windows management and the taskbar/window previews the most. I use DockAltTab and these applescripts with BetterTouchTool for this. What features do you most miss?
-
This is dumb
I made some applescripts to change the default minimize / close window behavior to make it more like Windows (mostly to change window cycling, but it also prevents this behavior too). They requires using BetterTouchTool (to bind to the red/green window buttons) and a custom AltTab mod that receives apple events.

Any MacOS advice for developers?
If you use BetterTouchTool, I also made some applescripts that let you click dock icons while holding shift / command to make a new window/cycle windows for that app. And scripts that change the default close / minimize window behavior.

Does Stage Manage look like a terrible use of screen realestate to anyone else, or it it just me?
And all the taskbar / window management behavior that're missing (that I'm aware of) can be achieved via applescript and BetterTouchTool: - command + clicking (dock icons) to cycle windows - shift + clicking (dock icons) to open new window - replacing shortcuts cmd+w / cmd+m to cycle like on Windows™ (ie: after closing/minimizing a window, focus is on the next topmost window, and prevents pulling forward the next window from the same app (unless it is the topmost window))

Why does my MBP suck so hard at remembering multiple screens?
Install DisplayPlacer. I use it along with Alfred (but you can trigger it many different ways). It's great for multi-monitor setups.

Run AppleScript to change display arrangement.
You can't do it with AppleScript, but there are other scripting options. A handy utility already exists though called DisplayPlacer. If you install that homebrew package, you can then create a shortcut to call SSH scripts. You'd even be able to save different display arrangements in the shortcut and call a specific one depending on where you place your iPad that day.
