Agreed, as a software engineer of ~8 years now Mac is actually my _preferred_ environment -- I find it an extremely productive OS for development whether I'm working on full stack or Unity game dev in my free time.
- deaddodo 1y agoI don't agree with OP's sentiment that macOS is a bad dev environment, but surely I prefer Linux+KDE as an overall dev environment. I find that all the tools I need are there but that I'm fighting the UI/UX enough to make it a hassle relative to KDE.

I find that all the tools I need are there but that I'm fighting the UI/UX enough to make it a hassle relative to KDE. This sounds like you think macOS is a good dev environment, but that you personally don't like the UI/UX (always safer to make UI/UX judgements subjective ["I don't like"] rather than objective ["it's bad"], since it's so difficult to evaluate objectively, e.g., compared to saying something like Docker doesn't run natively on macOS, which is just an objective fact).
- deaddodo 1y agoI literally started off my comment saying that it's not bad. That means it's neutral-good, by definition. I can easily develop on both, I prefer developing on Linux. Thus, it is "more good" (IMO), if you prefer.
