I thought this until I actually tried windows, it just doesn't work right ever and feels so weird and old. I wouldn't use macos, but it's fine, it feels competently made and for the most part makes sense.
Yes, Windows feels old but at least is usable (10 was more usable that 11 in my opinion). MacOS feels very janky to me and you have to jump to various hoops to do basic things
All Apple products are designed for people who don't use technology.
They hide the useful bits so people don't hurt themselves.
It's the Duplo of computing.
There are plenty of developers who use macs for work, me included. I mainly go with Mac for the build quality/battery life/performance though and also because my work pays for it so I don't need to worry about the exorbitant price. I would agree that MacOS is pretty janky at times and it requires a few third party apps to be reasonable usable.
But I'm not really sure what you mean by useful bits? I don't feel like I'm really restricted in MacOS. If there isn't a UI element for something, you can probably adjust it in a terminal.
So if I understand you correctly, it’s more about the hardware and not the software that’s appealing to you?
Generally, yes. I like MacOS more than windows because it's at least *nix.
But to be honest I have no strong opinions on OS when it comes to work. I've used windows*/Linux/MacOS and none have stood out as far superior to get my work done faster or more efficiently.
I use MacOS with my Mac because that's what's installed out of the box.
The main things that seem to hold me back from working efficiently are programs that are required by the company to maintain their ISO accreditation like Microsoft "intune" or what ever it's called.
*Only when required.
