I recently switched to Windows after 10 years of Macs, because I didn’t fee like forking out €3k for a decent 15” laptop. I switched to a Razer (€1700) which can actually game + with WSL I can actually do Rails development. After a month of using this machine, my carpal tunnel pains dropped off significantly (in part because I ditched the Magic Mouse for a Logitech MX) and my fingers don’t swell or hurt from bashing a non-existant keyboard on the MBP. So to me when it comes to computers, Apple is dead.

FWIW, when I switched from Mac to Windows, I was able to still do Rails development in Windows itself (I guess it ultimately depends on your Rails app complexity and the gems you rely on) and deploy my solutions to Linux servers. This was before WSL came out.

  For sure, but it was pretty slow (every page reload took ages) and with WSL it is much faster.

    Really? That's interesting. I don't have that experience running Rails on Windows. Having said that, I do use thin for my development instance, so maybe that's why.
