Dockside is a lightweight file shelf next to the Dock, where you can drag & drop files, folders, apps, and even text for quick access or later use. It also displays recent screenshots and downloads, or your favourite folders or even recent items for easy access. Lightweight and there when you need it, fading away when you don't, Dockside helps you manage frequently used items—all without getting in your way.

The whole idea was to not have a "bank" in between!

I concur on "it sort of made sense to me" in regard to the windows management and I don't think this is due to the fact that I am getting used to the ways of macOS, at least this part.

When I use Windows occasionally, I miss the command+` to switch between windows of the apps, especially when they are far separated out in the Alt+Tab preview.

True, I started as a COBOL programmer (did a lot of TELON online screens, JCL, CICS, DB2...) as my first job in 2009, for a biggest retailer - personally it taught me a great deal of software engineering - having a background in electronics engineering helped I guess.

The whole stack, and the complex business built around it over many years makes it so difficult for these large institutions to port their solutions on to a new platform in my experience too.

For a lot of these companies, these backend systems on Mainframes just works and I believe there isn't a proper incentive to move on to a new platform anyway.

The username can be the monitor name perhaps? ;)

Brilliant!

On a different note - GOV.UK in my opinion is one of the most well-designed, practical, and useful public/government sites on the planet.

The rest of the countries needs to take a note on how to design government sites/services
