Long-time Mac user here -- by that I mean, I use my Macs for a long time. Long, long after Apple supports them. My Mac Pro 4,1 is a daily driver. I replaced my 2011 MacBook Pro with a ThinkPad only this year. I have strong feelings on this, but I'll say only two things: 1) Apple breaks more with each OS update than they offer in terms of features. I own Photoshop CS4 for personal use. It works great. At work, they pay for a subscription for the latest Adobe software and its crashy, screen-flickery, garbage. CS4 just works -- but that means I have to stay on Mojave, and that means I'm sticking with my Mac Pro. Same for the version of Final Cut I have. Same for my back catalog of fun games... and I dual boot Snow Leopard for some of the really old ones. 2) All complaints about Windows here are valid, but I have apps from the 3.1 era that run on modern hardware on Windows 11. Compared to Microsoft track-record, Apple shouldn't even be considered a stable OS platform provider. They make nice hardware; they're increasingly making a dumbed-down OS that's only redeeming characteristic is that it can run all the common browsers and has a nice shell built in.
