I have to say (and of course this just another anecdote) none of the developers I know (including myself!) are happy any more with OSX. In particular, no-one wants the new MB Pros. We put up with the gradual culling of ports for the sake of the things we liked (OSX's great 3rd party GUI software ecosystem, plus enough unixyness underneath, and the great hardware). But removing 1/6 of the keyboard for the sake of a feeble "innovation" has been a cut too far, and now we're gazing with envy at machines with real keyboards and an actual diversity of ports. The only developers I know who are replacing their pre-touchbar machines right now with new ones are those making much of their living from iOS / OS X. Many (like me) are kind of hanging on, because it's a pain to change OSs, lose much of the software we love etc. I'm still undecided, but I think my current (ageing) MB Pro is going to be my last. > The Linux users I work with spend more time on sysadmin work than the Mac users by a hefty margin Yep. I shifted from Linux to OS X years ago because I was sick of tech fiddling and wanted to have a machine that needed no hand-holding and let me get on with my work. There seem to be no good options.
