S@#$ that doesn't work on Mac that's so simple in Windows

Started creating a list of things I find annoying about Mac. I am sure over time Apple will address or improve some of these but is really a pain coming from a Windows user.

1. Create new file on Finder in the folder you are in. Right click on a folder in Windows explorer will allow me to create a new file in the folder I am in. For OSX I had to create an Apple script to do this simple task
2. Excel for Windows allows me to import portions of a Web page using Web queries. This can be done directly in the Excel app. For OSX this functionality is not available and broken.
3. Drag and drop an email from Outlook Mac results in a html code .eml file instead of a properly formatted email that you can read later
4. Dock window to right or left of screen using the keyboard
5. Editing a cell in Excel. Pressing F2 allows me to edit the cell. In Mac I have to use a mouse
6. Windows handles multiple windows of a same app so efficiently. I can switch between windows easily using alt tab
7. Locking screen. Have to use mouse to click some icon to lock. Windows Control L works
8. Copy paste file into an email example outlook. Mac pastes the location of file rather than the file
9. Apple doesn't offer a Cut and Paste option for moving files in Finder (although you can Copy and Paste)
10. Finder cannot sort folders first
11. Microsoft Outlook is horrible on Mac. There are so many things I can do easily on Outlook on Windows. To do the same steps on Mac, it takes 3 times the effort
12. Try duplicating a meeting (not an appointment, a meeting)
13. Try creating a meeting and selecting attendees as optional. You have to mark them individually.
14. Try cutting a file and pasting at a different location. Command + X and Command + V dont work for this. There are different keys to do this.
