I have been using OS X for software development for the last 15 years. Before that I was on Linux for 4 years and Mac OS 7 before that. I have never owned a Windows computer. One of the things I like most about OS X/macOS is how its development has been a gradual evolution, from the time Apple bought NeXT and OpenStep in 1997 and started working on Rhapsody, until macOS Sierra. It may have a lot to do with my using it every day and having gotten so used to the OS after more than a decade, but my Mac in 2017 totally gets out of the way and lets me concentrate on my development work. The familiar UNIX underpinnings and developments like e.g. Homebrew help a lot with that. Also, printers, multiple external screens etc. just work. When I look at Windows, what I really cannot understand is how an operating system that is used by the majority of people and businesses gets away with having each major version looking and behaving totally different from its predecessor, as if there was a constant need to fix the UI design errors that have been made in the previous version. And still (or thus?) it's not getting to the point where it feels natural to use.
