There are a lot more reasons I switched to windows than a vpn that stopped working. I tried for over 4 years to incorporate osx into an engineering work flow. The nominally cross platform eclipse stack I was using never became fully compatible with osx. It was always a usb driver or something stopping the osx version from working. Even when it did work, I would check in a project and someone else would be like "omg this doesn't work, did you do this in osx?". I had a total of 1 project ever where the client wanted to mess with the code in osx and was glad I could do it in osx. Ended up using parallels for almost all compiler toolchains. My saleae scope software is buggy in osx, ties up a cpu at 100% while its open for some reason- had to use that in parallels too. What DID I use native osx for? Browsers? Mac vim? Linux commandline? It clearly has not been worth the time and money.
