      Hammerspoon and Alfred are way better automation utils than alternatives in Windows or Linux. Karabiner might be too, haven’t looked into third-party Linux remapping utils yet.

      HyperSwitch and a dozen other utils allow customizing cmd-tab switching, namely add switching between windows instead of apps.

      Native Clipy clipboard manager is way snappier than CopyQ. At least for Windows there’s Ditto.

      There’s even an util called Mos fixing the fact that apps with foreign UI frameworks don’t understand the mouse scrolling speed properly, and treat the mouse and the touchpad differently. Which is also present in Windows.

      MacOS’ Cocoa UI framework allows addressing any element in an app’s window via xpath (iirc) and manipulate them, if given accessibility permissions from the user. Which permits doing a lot of UI automation without fiddling with mouse coordinates and faking clicks. And can be done with native AppleScript (although I’d prefer that they properly supported JXA instead). By the way, more than a few apps provide their own support for AppleScript, such that for example you can access notes in Evernote with it.

      Raycast, HazeOver, Nightfall, Amphetamine, Yabai, Glide, AltTab, AlDente, MonitorControl, LinearMouse come to my mind right now. Probably forgot a few.
