Complaining about incompatibilities in software used by less than 5% of Mac users and ignoring the strong compatibility of software used by 95% of Mac users see

  Equally, talking only about the stuff that works great and completely ignoring the incompatibilities that do exist is also misleading. Every other review out there covered the strong compatibility and how amazing the M1 is. I for one am glad that there exist a least a couple of reviews that focus on everything that doesn't work. Let's be honest, no one these days makes a purchasing decision based off of just reading the first review they find.

    I agree but these reviewers should weight and categorize the problems they find. For example reviews have been pretty consistent that 1) Graphic Design software: Works well out of box. Key Adobe apps not yet native and have some minor issues under Rosetta, but still work, are still fast and should be much faster when native. 2) Video Production: Unbelievably fast, on par with high end iMacs and Mac Pros and should get faster as all tools go native. 3) Software Developers: Super fast builds and tools. Homebrew not native yet but can still use with Rosetta version of terminal. If you need Docker it’s months away. 4) niche Users of esoteric apps ported from windows: this is the group Patrick reported in. Yea, some of these apps are months away from being usable but all have perfectly cromulent native replacements.
