I used Windows for twenty years as a developer and macOS for ten. Once I got away from .Net and iOS development and into Node/React both of them just got in my way while providing nothing of value. (Actually macOS has always annoyed me in many ways, so mostly I only used it for iOS stuff.)
Once I moved to Manjaro/XFCE a few years ago, all the problems disappeared. Docker just works. All the web dev tools are built for my platform and just work. There are no compatibility layers or emulation layers to worry about. I'm in charge of updates. I don't get nagged to do things at inopportune times. I'll never go back to either one of them full time. Windows for games, Macs for iOS/Xcode. That's it for me. Even for .Net and iOS now - I can do that too on Linux with .Net core and React Native.
