I enjoy developing on Linux, but my problem is Apple has sucked me into it's ecosystem tentacles and it's hard to get out. It's really nice to have my reminders, calendar, notifications, messaging, etc synced between my iPhone and MBP. And unlike any else out there that I can tell, it just works with very little setup and fiddling. Has anyone encountered a similar experience and can suggest remedies?
