I've been an IT consultant for many years. I have been using MacBooks since around 2009. After an initial bumpy migration to macOS (OS X back then) after at least 10 years of using Linux (mostly Debian) exclusively, I never looked back. It mostly just works and I can focus on writing my applications and operating my systems. I get a nice UNIX-like ecosystem on the metal and almost everything I need to write code I can get on Homebrew. It runs Docker for those times when I want actual Linux locally, although I've been using that less and less since I can build and run my containers on the cloud. I haven't counted but I suspect more than half of my IT colleagues use Macs, and almost everyone else uses Linux. Windows is the exception, where the only people crazy enough to inflict that upon themselves tend to be .NET/C#/F#/Microsoft-oriented devs. macOS is the most hassle-free experience you can get. I say that whilst keeping a very close eye on Linux development since I'd like to break away from Apple eventually. Unfortunately no Linux distro comes even close to Macs in terms of simplicity and reliability.
