As a developer, I would buy a Mac. Everything "just works" on it. Apps are sometimes blocked from the App store (Famous example, Flux perhaps? https://justgetflux.com/ https://justgetflux.com/), but that doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't use them.
That said, I'll be checking this out for my Windows 10 rig (for gaming).

- ddalex 10y agoInsert button in VIM. that's why I wiped MacOSX and installed Ubuntu.
- no1youknowz 10y agoNope, they work fine for me. Also, I haven't come across any "blocked" apps. I am unsure of the walled garden some others are referring too!
- WayneBro 10y agoAnd window management. And display management. And file management. And you can only launch one instance of an app at a time. And you have to wait forever for Apple to update your hardware. And they are so, so, so many other problems with macOS. It's laughable how much is broken.
- p10_user 10y agoFlux is blocked now? I installed it last year no problem. Edit I remember now that I didn't install it through the App Store.
- reitanqild 10y agoAs a developer I used Mac for three years and found it utterly broken, especially: * keyboard layout (fn and ctrl was swapped but only on laptop and small wireless, not the fullsize keyboard) and * modifier keys (e.g. no consistent way to jump one word ahead). Some of my colleagues used it and loved it though, and I very much tried to myself but failed utterly.
