No, MacOS's UI is fantastic!
(Once you install 4 different 3rd party software tools (2 of which require licenses to buy (1 of which is abandoned and doesn't work smoothly on any officially supported Mac OS)) to fix it)
Anyway this is a way of saying yes, stock Mac OS UI is very lacking and also asking, what Linux distro should I try if I like a lot of things about MacOS's UI especially with the trackpad geature control and keyboard shortcuts for window organization and resizing I get from third party applications?
This is such an accurate comment. Mac is antithetical to productivity, out of the box. Managing windows on Mac is so frustrating. Especially if you run a vertical monitor because now the task bar is physically disconnected from the window. I hate it.
Whenever I used macOS I felt very restricted, like as if I had to do real work but all I had in front of me was a toolbox full of plastic toys meant for children. It was NOTHING like GNOME, despite what many like to parrot. Compared to macOS, GNOME on Linux or BSD is SO much better in terms of workflow.
