I switched from being a lifelong Linux user to being a Mac user. Nearly everything was better: 95%+ of the tools I use were the exact same, everything was just more usable and stable. The biggest draw was that I wasn't stuck with PC hardware anymore, which is nice because I really prefer Macbook hardware and most Linux OS's just don't work well enough with it for me. I'm a web developer though so YMMV depending on what you're doing for work, but for me I was able to bring vim, Chrome, zsh, and most linux commands, which covers the vast majority of my day. The biggest drawback was that running FOSS was something I cared about and no longer doing so made me feel sad for a bit. The filesystem layout is slightly different but still UNIX-y and newer versions of MacOS don't let you put files wherever you want (which makes sense from a security perspective but is nonetheless an adjustment). I struggle to think of much more than that. The operating system just gets out of my way now and I appreciate that, and we still run Linux on all of our servers for everything so I've got that at least.
