    Yeah, Macs are great if all your other stuff is Apple and all your subscriptions are Apple and all your cloud is Apple and you buy a new $2k unrepairable computer and go along with whatever huge changes Apple brings.

    And they are actually quite user friendly… until something doesn’t work, or you want to reach out of its approved purview.

    They are also dev friendly too, but the hurdle for that is high enough that one might consider Linux at that point.

    But on your point, say what you will about Windows and all the UI garbage and bloat MS adds, but underneath, it is utterly stagnant, lol.

      They are also dev friendly too, Not saying you’re wrong because I don’t use it, but from the outside, they appear actively hostile toward developers.

        You have to “unlock” them with a lot of tweaks. And to be clear, I’m just saying they’re better than Windows. Ugh, trying to compile anything on Windows…

        Hardware wise, they’re far better for local code assistants, too, with the exception of a few exotic AMD laptops just now coming out.
