After OS X, has anybody ever switched back to Windows from a Mac OS for daily use (i.e. not for a specific application that is only available on Windows)?
I don't even want to look at Windows now. It's so unsightly in a way that you don't notice until you switch away.
After 15 years on OS X, I won't be buying another Mac. The MB keyboards with no Escape key and constant breakage, and dropping support for 32-bit apps, would have been enough for me. The newly onerous restrictions on software signing, and Apple's general obsession with sacrificing anything and everything to get thinner and lighter, only make it worse.
I have been on Apple devices since the early days of the shift to Intel, and regularly use a PC for home projects.
Windows 10 has refined the usability while Apple has stagnated recently trying to bring iOS apps into the desktop mainstream. Even though both have plenty of problems, the biggest issue right now is that Microsoft seemingly wants all of your metrics, whereas Apple is marketing heavily that they are building everything around privacy.
I am looking forward to seeing how well the Windows Subsystem for Linux works with the new Console. That is the main reason so many engineers went to Macs in the first place.
I have so far on two occasions swapped work given MBP's for Windows laptops after having made considerable effort to get used to osx. I myself own a MBP and my daily driver OS is manjaro linux.
me. the Java ecosystem used to update too slow and unreliably. After spending many hours wrestling the default jdk and ways to make different programs use a different install I just gave up. I still use my Mac for media production because it's still a power house after this many years but for everything else I'm back in Windows. it's ugly and not ergonomic when you go to the insides, but it sits in the background and let me do my things instead of pretending to know better at every step.
