This is one of those very rare events where the 1st generation product was actually a huge leap forward and the hype was totally justified. It's actually made a mockery of the ancient wisdom of "Always avoid 1st generation Apple products" rule. You are wrong.

I'm pretty much laughing at the fanatics here and the early adopters, especially the existing power users and developers who went all in and bought it on launch day and until now who were hit with multiple bugs, unstable 'workarounds', beta preview software issues, recovery OS failures and so on with the immature software ecosystem on the M1 which they don't tell you about here. That was the hype. I am long term Apple Silicon, but not any 1st generation Apple product or even M1. > It's actually made a mockery of the ancient wisdom of "Always avoid 1st generation Apple products" rule. You are wrong. Was this you with the 'fanatics' on launch day suggesting macOS for Docker on Apple Silicon at the time? [0] Say I immediately joined the hype train in November, you're telling me that I have to wait almost half a year since the launch of M1 for Docker to be stable? You might as well skip last year's model and go for the M1X or M2 Macbook. No point chasing a 6 month old product when the software was not even ready and Apple will refresh the line up to M1X or M2 this year. For professionals and existing Mac users, the rule still stands. It's always about the tiny small prints that Apple discloses or what they just don't tell you until you actually buy it but it's clear that many others have already done this for me; Including yourself. I don't upgrade my Macs as if they are iPhones. Unlike most here. By the time I move to Apple Silicon, all these issues and limitations will be fixed on a M1X/M2 Mac or higher. No rush to get last year's model and plenty of time to wait for the Intel Macs to be unsupported and I will be getting a newer generation Apple Silicon-based Mac. Not specifically M1.
