I used a MBP for 6 years, professionally, and this past fall switch to a Dell Precision 15". The new macbooks have a terrible keyboard, lost the magsafe connector, lost the lit apple symbol (loved it, because I could put an amusing sticker over it), have a ridiculously sized trackpad that I was constantly touching, only two USB C - one of which is always needed for power, and replaced the top set of keys with the "meh" touch bar thing. You can only get 16 GB of ram, and the guts are just fine.
Windows 10 + WSL is awesome, the only minor issue being some permissions stuff. I find Windows 10 to be a more interesting, an effective interface. The only thing I miss is that the Mac trackpad has a bit better detection for when I accidentally brush it. Otherwise, I'll take my 3 USB C, 2 USB B, HDMI, SD, and audio ports any day - all of which I have used at some point in the past 6 months, incidentally.
The new Mac keyboard alone was enough to make me want to toss the laptop into the trash. But, hey, it's slightly thinner, so you know, major productivity gains there!
