Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

People who don’t understand windows or the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. So they constantly close the window and then relaunch the program to get back to the main screen or switch tasks.

And on macOS people not understanding that just because all the windows of an application are closed it doesn’t mean it’s not running.

I actually love this design because there’s no need for a window to be there while playing music for example.
