I did the same transition because my work gave me a m1, cannot stress how good vanilla gnome is and how lackluster is macos desktop.
1. When opening 'mission control' in gnome, all the windows have the application icon at the bottom, it's easier to find what I am searching for. In macos I have to scan every window for the content I am looking.
2. If I don't find an app in 'mission control' in gnome I can just type and open it very quickly. In macos you need to close mission control and then open spotlight.
3. In gnome it's possible to close applications from 'mission control'. In macos if I want to clean up the space I have to go window by window.
4. Mission control arrangement sucks, sometimes windows overlap, position changes randomly.
5. In gnome, when moving a maximized window it resizes to a smaller size so you can easily interact with the windows behind (drag a file or whatever).
Those are the ones on the top of my head. It really kills my productivity and make me wonder if macos is worth the pain. Yes, it comes with lot of very polished applications but most of the time I am just using the basics.
