My reasons for getting off of Macs were ~100% OS-related. I still think they're making the best hardware out there, but most days of the year I want to open my computer and use it. Having weird busted shit, prompts for 3 month free trials of Apple Music, accidentally closing things because of command+q (Why is a shortcut to close things, something that you do literally once per application run, bound do something so easy to hit? [0]). Then a lot of incidental stuff in the ecosystem (brew breaking things when I would boot up), the bundling of bug fixes and security updates into application updates with the OS upgrade model... I would still recommend Macs to people in general, but I think for people trying to get work done, the OS upgrade strategies that Apple chose in particular are extremely disruptive and lead to many team members at a previous job just breaking their setups over and over again. It's not fun to be using software beholden to marketing timelines, if you're fiddly with your machine. [0]: I switch between QWERTY and AZERTY. "Select All" becomes "Quit App". My solution was to bind Spotlight to Command+Q , which would almost always work.
