> MacOS is really a subpar development experience to me and it's plagued with issues, from very subpar docker support and performance to it's far from flawless experience on many languages I use regularly (e.g. Haskell) that are far from the Linux standard.
Aside from that, the window management in macOS leaves a lot to be desired still without third party tools, and even with them it's not fantastic.
Don't get me wrong, I love my macbook pro, but bugs & privacy issues aside with Windows, I'd prefer to just use it on my macbook's hardware. I've been full time on macOS since the M1 air and I still can't grok the app v. window model macOS uses. I'm sure it made sense when workflows were centered around documents, but they aren't anymore, and over half the apps are just browsers. I prefer each instance to be standalone like Windows and Linux do it.
Then again, I'm not a dev, I'm an IT manager. My day to day involves multiple browser windows each with many tabs, spreadsheets, meetings, & notetaking on my iPad, etc. macOS's workflow of "focus on one or two "apps" at a time" doesn't work for me. I'll stand by my statement that Windows is still the king of "general business productivity."
