I can understand the fall, since I myself am torn or the subject. I am a huge fan of Apple laptops for two reasons: 1. I can do all my development on the same Unix environment I run Adobe and various DAWs on. 2. Apple's trackpads. Having said that, I've been considering a move back to my previous two-laptop setup; one Linux machine for development and general use, and one Windows machine (shudder) for Adobe and DAWs. I can get a PC with the same specs or better than a Mac, with memory capacities up to 32GB of RAM (twice what Apple offers), for around $1,000.00 less. I could also solve the problem of the vanishing hardware (e.g. ports, Esc key, etc.) by going this route.
However, I still like macOS a million times more than I like Windows. I'm not ready to switch yet, but I'm thinking about it. If Apple continues to neglect their Mac line, and fail to offer specs comparable to their competitors, my thoughts may turn into action. I imagine others are feeling the same way.
