Honestly, I just spent about a year on MacOS because of the hardware. That time also includes an M1 Macbook. Frankly, now that there are so many high quality, thermally-suitable ultrabooks,I'm done, I don't care if the M1 blows everything out of the water as long as some Evo-class ultrabook can do the same to the older laptops I had - because MacOS and homebrew fucking suck. The file system organization sucks too, and not all programs ported to unix/MacOS with as well as standard linux. (or install as cleanly as with apt-get and an isolated environment in file explorer on WSL2). I understand buying a Macbook for the internal hardware prowess (there is no perfornance per watt competition for the M1), QC, screen resolution, but fuck, the important hardware shit is 80% as good [edit: not really but this is also use case dependent] if not better on Windows laptops by now, and arguably the most important variable - software - is miles ahead with WSL2/Ubuntu/bash/apt-get/GNU tools vs MacOS/zsh/brew etc. I'd grant IO and some web development on MacOS is still going to be more productive, but from where I'm standing the platform choice is one without hesitation. Totally do agree on hardware writ large though, still haven't figured out what Windows system i'm going to grab, for that exact reason.
