What’s so shitty? I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years, and Mac for work over 5. I have my terminal under f12 (iterm2/Konsole), I have my ide on one desktop, my calendar, my email and my slack on a another and a browser on another. I barely notice any difference. Honestly I don’t mind it at all. In fact if my desktop died and had to replace it, I might get a Mac mini instead.
Also use Mac for work and personal. But I spend most of my time in neovim and the browser, so tbh I don’t really care what I use. I just like that I can answer texts from my Mac via iMessage. I haven’t tried them, but I think there are some i3 style window managers for macOS. That’s the next thing I would explore if I wanted a more Linux like experience.
I started doing my Xcode builds in CI, so I guess I’m not really tied to Mac anymore. In its current state, I’m more attached to the hardware than the software.
I have been using Linux since the 10th grade. But for work I’m using a Mac. Because I’m not only engineering, but doing other things related to work, having a Mac is more productive and practical.
That’s fair. I also wouldn’t wish serious Excel work on my worst enemy. But I understand someone has to do it, or the nightmare realm could escape the cell borders.
Mac?
Mac has a Unix-like command line, but is otherwise shitty to use.
Not just unix-like, MacOS is UNIX certified,
Don’t understand this. I dislike Apple in many ways, but MacOS is an objectively very solid operating system.

Codemagic? I’ve made some pokes at using that for iOS builds with middling luck.

I used to do the same, but lately every office thing is browser based, and I find the Linux and Mac experiences are identical.
The web version of Office is so scuffed. I wouldn’t wish trying to do any serious Excel work with the web version on my worst enemy.
LibreOffice can do everything Excel can except for BI, so…

Windows has a really good shell too but it’s not about terminal. Both macs and windows are pretty awful dev machines.
WSL has worked fine for me for the past 4 years.
That extends beyond just terminal but completely agree that their stock experience is… not great.
