I used MacOS exclusively for 8 months before making my mind up. The initial plan was to use it for at least one year but after 8 months I was really fed up and went back to GNU/Linux. I expected it to be better but in the end I found it was not, at least not for me. Although Apple invests a lot of money and effort in the MacOS user interface development I found it way too restrictive compared to any DE or window manager I used in past on GNU/Linux. I am not Gnome nor KDE user but would pick any of these two over MacOS interface without second thoughts. Homebrew is useful and commendable but far worse than any of the major package managers on GNU/Linux. Macvim was fine, but it did not have features I relied on in Gvim. I never used Safari because compared to Firefox the interface was clunky. I do not know about current Safari status but back then it didn't have extensions. I wanted to switch many times over the 8 months and was relieved when I did. To me, personally, Apple products are overrated. MacOS? No. But thanks.
