I agree that Apple's software is low quality. In too many cases shockingly and consistently so over many years. You are not surprised to see the spinning ball of fail when running Apple software. You expect their developers to make beginners' mistakes. And Apple has some spectacularly useless systems developers that manage to have at least a couple of daemons regularly blow up and use lots of CPU in every release. It is almost like some elaborate running joke. I mean, what idiot wrote the calendar daemon. How the heck do you keep a job as a systems developer when you need to burn 70-80% CPU for prolonged periods of time to sync a calendar that hasn't even had significant use for years? Seriously, if anyone knows who wrote it, I'd be interested to understand how things went so wrong for them. Yes, Apple's software sucks. However, I don't buy Apple to use their software or their cloud services. I use macs for the same things you do: run the applications I need to do my job. Applications that are not made by Apple. My list of requirements isn't long. - Must be a unix variant - Must be decent hardware (most laptops are horrible) - Must be able to run the developer tools I use - Must be able to run Fusion 360 - Must be able to run professional photo editing software - Nice if it can run Ableton Live That's it.
