I have been using Mac computers for a while and have no intention of going back to Windows or even trying Linux alternatives. Apple does a great job in delivering simplicity, quality, and continuity.
I just had to stop here. It's pretty fascinating how widely people's opinions can vary here.
After my windows laptop broke, it took me a few months before I could get it sent off and repaired. I had to use my gf's mac for those months, easily long enough to get the hang of the OS.
As much as I do agree the hardware, the build, is second to none, there is nothing about the OS I could really appreciate. I felt betrayed; Apple was always marketed as the best for creativity, the best for workflow, fast, smooth, slick.
I felt this was so far from the truth. It was an entirely clunky experience; it had infuriatingly unnecessary features and kind of forces you to use them until you are gaslit into thinking it's a good feature.
I acknowledge some things I simply had to adjust after so long on a windows, but many things are just objectively so much better on Windows I was almost in shock. I always begrudgingly used Windows because I was too poor for Mac, but now I feel a new appreciation for just how much better my workflow is now I'm back.
Windows for life, it has been decided. XD
It is true everybody has different experiences, habits, and preferences that may play role in deciding which devices to use. I am glad we have options to choose from. I do have to use Windows for work. Still not impressed. 😆
Unfortunately this makes us natural enemies - pity!
