Good points, particularly the strong support of Macs. I have doubts about any technologist that would choose to use Windows in their personal life.

- nickolai 15y agoDisagree, in part. Personally, I use Linux for everything, when given the choice - except the occasional game or two for which I use Windows. Couldn't ever get used to Mac. It feels a bit like linux (being BSD based and all that), but gets touchy when you actually try to do something with it. Though this may simply come from my lack of experience with the platform. And im not convinced that the productivity increase from switching from linux to mac is worth the investment(in short i can do the same thing on a system that is twice as cheap ,and without any extra learning). However I do agree that Windows is very often disastrous in terms of productivity.
- Goladus 15y agoI tried a mac briefly, and they don't work well for me anymore. In particular, I couldn't find a combination of keyboard layout and application hotkeys that didn't annoy me somehow, frequently, all day long. I managed to get it down to "tolerable" but that was it. I think I eventually could have adjusted to the different keyboard layout and application defaults, but it didn't seem worth it to me.
