As a developer, I like Mac OSX. It seems to be a fair compromise. It has a decent window manager, the finder is excellent, and if I need to I can drop into a terminal and do what I need to.


The cool thing about Win10 is that I can do all that as well, but with third party tools of my choosing. Not saying OSX is limited - just saying I can do the same in Win10, in multiple ways. I work with both, and will always choose to work with Win over Mac.

Maybe if Mac had got their shit together with the keyboard (swapped ctrl and super key) from the start I may have switched. Shame they isolated so many potential users with that boneheaded move.

The command key has always been where it is. And it works quite nicely there, being under your left thumb, allowing you to type common commands from rest position in one stroke.

The Windows/super key came 10 years later, the swapping being Microsoft's choice.
