• I have not heard the fans once in over a year of heavy use, I’m starting to doubt they exist. Fan noise is a far more prevalent issue with Windows machines so I’m very curious to know how you’ve managed to convince the fans to spin up at all, let alone at a high volume.
• No window snapping is a glaring omission, but easily resolved with a 3rd party app.
• Fortunately as a programmer I hardly use Finder, but yes it’s not very intuitive.

I could list fifty problems each with Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but am comfortable enough with all of them because I adapt to their weaknesses (the ones that can be adapted to anyways).

I am a kind of laptop addict. I sell and purchase laptops every 6 months or so. I’ve tried everything on the Windows side, and have had the most beautiful machines in my possession, but they all had some critical flaw that made me look at my work laptop (Macbook Pro M1) and think… “I get it”

They currently have a monopoly on the best computing experience, that’s why it costs so much. The developer experience is 10 times better than Windows, but it’s doesn’t suffer the lack of software support that Linux does. It has the best battery life BY FAR of any laptop, which is important to people like myself who find themselves working on trains and planes. And the overall build quality and performance is so good that it can be resold 5 years later for 75% of the original price.

JS land is the America of development. You may not like it, but it’s the encumbent power and it’ll be that way for a long time so might as well enjoy the plus sides
