This is my story in a nutshell too.
After the 2018 MacBook Pro keyboard started breaking down (after 1 year of use, once replaced already) I gave up on Apple and bought a 3 pound LG Gram 17 inch laptop.
Using Windows for the first time in 10 years, all I can say is it has come a long way. They've put serious effort into making development for linux via WSL and VS Code a dream.
The laptop is also fantastic, 17" of 16:10 real estate, light, the macbook feels like a stone now.
The downsides are the keyboard is a tad too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. I wish it was a bit bigger, there was room for this.
The other issue is by default the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software and requires tweaking.
Other than that fantastic all around, 2 nvme slots, 1 upgradable ram slot, lots of IO.
