>With respect, macOS "allows you to get your work done in the least amount of pain as possible" precisely because you are used to it and its relative quirks. This is devolving into the same flamewar that always occurs when discussing platform religion so this will be my last post on it. For the record I have been a dual platform user for 10+ years (Windows and Linux). It was only 4 years ago that I got fed up with countless Android phones having so many bugs. Maybe i'm just cursed. (my last Android phone was a Nexus 5) I finally gave iPhone a try. The experience was so good that I finally considered giving macOS a try. Historically it was always too expensive in my mind to risk trying in case it turned out to be bad. Once the iPhone got me hooked, macOS ended up being a breath of fresh air as well. As my previous comments eluded, I still try out the other platforms yearly but always go back to macOS now due to the aforementioned problems. Going back to the original comment that I replied to: >If HN comment sections are early indicators, devs are moving on. We are potentially a few years away from OS X apps no longer being best-in-class for dev tooling. That should scare people who are long Apple, a group that presumably includes their management. During the 90s and early 00s Apple did not have a majority hold on the dev community. Developers moved to Apple due to to flaws in the other platforms. I have listed issues that are caused by fundamental flaws in the OS. No matter how bad Nvidia is, Linux should never silently crash when trying to log in leaving the user stranded on the login screen. Its just poor design. If we are talking about Windows well it does not solve any of the OS problems that Apple platforms have and instead introduces additional problems of its own. The only people who would switch are people who are so damaged by Apple's policies on hardware or generic policies that the pain of this overshadows the solid foundation that their OS provides. The pragmatic side of me remains skeptical it will happen on a mass scale.
