Curious if you'd elaborate this statement, e.g., WSL is definitely a potential solution to one of the items I brought up, but given what I've stated about the advantages of macOS, would you actually go as far as to say it's a better or comparable experience on Windows? I'd love to hear your argument if so.


> would you actually go as far as to say it's a better or comparable experience on Windows?

This is obviously a subjective debate now, its all personal opinion. I would love to have that debate calmly and intelligently, but I feel here is not the place. Maybe we will meet in another place and time and be able to figure out what the other likes and prefers in their OS choice :)


Haha, fair enough, although I do think there is still some interesting objective points, e.g., the NVIDIA/CUDA support is a clear advantage for Windows today, and on the flipside macOS is still the place where software happens first (e.g., Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Lightroom all were launched first for Mac).

Don't you think you're generalizing from a set of cherry-picked examples? How would you even approach trying to demonstrate this?


They're not cherry-picked they're just the most important software historically to my personal, subjective value system.


I wasnt aware that Excel was first written for Mac.

Thanks for teaching me something today :)


PowerPoint too!
