SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces
I have to use a Mac for work and it drives me crazy. I disabled everything I could find, enabled reduced motion preferences or whatever it's called and still get some animations.
My "solution" is to use Aerospace [0], which reimplements window management. That's the only way I found to not have animations. Unfortunately i still feel some delay when switching windows compared to i3wm/sway in Linux.

Optimizing My Dev Workflow in 2025
Aerospace is a tiling window manager like i3 on Linux environment. This way I can manage my application windows and put them into different keys. I can navigate through my app windows very quickly with a shortcut:

Show HN: FlashSpace – fast, open-source, macOS Spaces replacement
I have been using AeroSpace for this purpose for over a year. I simply disable all the tiling features in the config and only use two shortcuts: switch to workspace and move current window to workspace. It's absolutely essential when working on a small screen.
AeroSpace does indeed suffer from a performance issue but this appears to be inherent to the available macOS APIs: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/issues/131
The way you reproduce it is open Factorio.app and quickly switch between workspaces while the game is loading.
FlashSpace seems to suffer from this problem as well based on a quick test.
With regards to configuration, I think it's cumbersome to configure shortcuts per workspace. In AeroSpace, every letter and number on the keyboard is automatically a workspace and shortcuts are global.
All that said, this is a fantastic tool and I would prefer a tool like this that addresses the pain of macOS workspaces as its primary goal rather than being part of a tiling window manager.

Has anyone tried Aerospace as a tiling manager for OSX? I mean this: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace
Any feedback?

Moom 4, the next-generation window manager
The thing with most of these macOS window managers is they lack support for workspaces, an essential feature in WMs like i3.
macOS Workspaces are not the best to use, because switching between them causes an animation or at least a delay. I started using Aerospace [0] recently, and they've implemented virtual workspaces themselves which works much better than macOS Workspaces.
I still have to configure Aerospace properly for multi-display setups, but it works really well with this i3-like config right out of the box [1]. And they have comprehensive docs too!
I highly recommend trying out Aerospace if current macOS window management solutions aren't working well for you.
