https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Desktop_and_laptop_computers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste... 87.76 percent. Not everyone is going to pay a massive premium for Macintosh no matter its alleged advantages. What are the advantages anyway? I used it for a while and came away mystified. Is it all about the appearance? They spend so much effort on its appearance that I suspect that's a big part of it. It does look and feel much nicer than a typical laptop. From a practical point of view, it felt like playing Candyland. Big silly icons bouncing around, stuff like that. The Unix shell is nice, but you can get that cheaper and better elsewhere.

The UNIX shell is not just nice, for people like me it's crucial. And mind you we are talking about Windows vs. macOS here, not macOS vs. everything else.

I ve come to find these arguments about pc vs mac are neverending and very polarised. They re not very rational either. Just like all arguments about aesthetics

If macOS wasn't UNIX-based it wouldn't have taken off for professionals to use. I quite enjoy the much better screens and my eyes are less tired when sitting at a Mac, but again, if it wasn't for UNIX, it wouldn't matter.
