I recently got a Surface Pro after two cycles (~7 years) of MBP 15 inchers. I wanted something lightweight I could draw on, and did think about the iPad Pro with Pencil for a while, but in the end having the flexibility to install any app won out (currently I'm using Aseprite and Manga Studio). I've been using both Mac and Windows OSes since the last millennium, so I'm not precious about either one. But I do personally prefer explorer over finder in most aspects. Visual Studio is a beast, and it's absolutely ridiculous that MS now give away so many features for free in the community version. I had no expectations for the type cover keyboard, but it turns out it is fantastically comfortable and productive. I have no plans to get a new Mac, but my 2014 MBP is still proving useful to do remote iOS builds from Xamarin. I'll probably keep it around just for that but if I never have to open Xcode again it will be too soon.
