Yes I ran a linux desktop for years and switched to mac. Aside from getting used to the feel of the UI and finding replacement apps (that sometimes cost a few bucks) the experience has been excellent. My Mac just works, upgrades are seamless (but do wait a few months before major os upgrades), the battery lasts all day, the audio and video quality are good, lid close suspends the system correctly every time. And everything syncs with my phone. I spend most of my time in the terminal anyway, and just ssh to my linux dev host. I don't worry about trying to set up a full dev environment on my laptop, I prefer to do that on a linux server
