Name one feature that Mac has that you think is so great.

  It's funny because I was the same as you. I hated Macs with a passion. I saw them as overpriced shiny things that weren't as good as a PC. Back in early 2000's I was commissioned to build an application that should also run on the Mac. I bought a second hand old Mac Mini. Within a couple of months I bought a brand new one, and since then I have been on Mac when it comes to non-gaming (even though it can do gaming). The main reason was I could just get shit done. The operating system is transparent to what I needed to do. With Windows you were forever dealing with the operating system to solve things. Windows eventually got better in this regards, and more recently worse again. I own/use windows as well. But mainly for gaming or a VM on an internal server. Often when people give a comparison of how much PC is better, they compare a PC desktop to a laptop. Windows laptops for the same features is same or more expensive, while feeling cheap/heavy/noisy. So form factor is one part of it, and then how the whole ecosystem works together with my phone/iPad and other devices. At the end of the day, if I am doing any serious inferencing then I use my companies server, or Claude. ... What has amazed me over the years is the sheer hate I get from some people for even owning a Mac. I was probably the same, but I was younger then. Its died down since ARM came in, but the irrational hate seems wasted. Someone prefers Linux, Android, Windows, etc. Good for them.
