>>> A couple decades spent on Windows seems to really poison some people against MacOS for good. I spent several years with 68k/PPC Mac, and was recently given an older MacBook with Snow Leopard. Both of those systems were equally touted as being intuitive. I learned the old Mac by having friends who showed me the ropes, and reading manuals. The newer Mac was completely opaque to me. A potential issue is that the Mac is touted as "intuitive," but that's a marketing buzzword. In reality, "intuitive" means it uses symbols and workflows that you've already learned to recognize. And the training process has changed, or has simply vanished. My mom (89, taught programming in the 80s), first learned to use Windows from manuals. And it's harder to learn when you get older. For myself, I've learned to be platform-agnostic. Realistically, I seldom interact with the operating system, except perhaps for the file explorer. Things like setting up networking are O(1), meaning you do them once and forget about it. The rest of the time, I'm working inside apps that are remarkably consistent across platforms, such as the browser and programming tools. A bad website design is equally bad across platforms. I choose a new computer and platform based on a few simple needs such as good battery lifetime, and a touch screen.
