> For example, I was using the clipboard history feature extensively on Alfred when I was using Mac, and Ditto is barely a replacement for Windows.

Good news! That is being fixed in the next release of Windows 10: http://clipdiary.com/clipboard-articles/view-windows-clipboa...

> The built-in functionality for window management in Windows is not bad, but it doesn't compare to Spectacle for flexibility.

You can actually download extra utilities for this. I like switcher (lets me search open windows by name), but there are quite a few others. The entire Windows shell is replaceable if you want to go that far.

I've never had a problem recording screen casts, lots of software options have always existed there, and they only keep getting better.

To get the full feature set of ScreenFlow, multiple apps would be needed though, I haven't seen any single app that does it all, although one may exist.

Also what Window Management features does Windows not have? I generally use the hotkeys for everything, without issue. I wish it was easier to do things like splitting my display into 3, but again lots of 3rd party utilities exist to expand the functionality out.

This is how I feel about Windows, my path environments, custom aliases, and utility scripts laying around. :)
