UI is the differentiator of the Mac itself. Otherwise, why not just use Windows, which is "decent".

- bad_user 6y agoTBH, I don't know why other people use Macs, but speaking in my own name, no, I'm not using it for its UI. I use macOS because things usually just work, because it's a Unix, and because the available apps are good. I don't have a problem with the Windows 10 UI, I have a problem with everything else. In fairness, switching from Linux to macOS because of the UI is an acceptable viewpoint.
- dangus 6y agoThe UI is probably what got people to switch from IE to Firefox. Because Firefox had tabs! But I agree, browser UI is irrelevant in 2020.

- pankajdoharey 6y agoIt depends on people to people, for instance I use Mac because it has a Unix terminal with great commercial software support and decent GPU drivers something that is missing on Linux. UI is the last thing, in fact I would say the choice of UI on linux is far and beyond any other OS can even dream to offer.
