Or any GNU/Linux distribution, which actually offer a superior developer experience in my opinion.

People complaining about their Macs type posts constantly top HN. Usually the comments are filled with further moaning about how things have been so bad for so long with Apple etc., usually accompanied by threats of moving to another platform.

I certainly prefer Linux over native OS X as my development environment, if I ignore the issue of using the hardware.

In particular, with OS X I never need to worry about video drivers, switching dGPU on/off, etc. just to use my laptop in typical ways.

I complain about the Mac from time to time. I just think the alternatives are much worse.

Followed by comments about how Mac OS is somehow “the best” despite the fact that the vast majority of developers prefer Windows.
