+1 that is how I see it also
Having integration between iPhone/iWatch/MacBook is great and I have come to accept Apple’s UI experience as definitely good enough for me.
I love Linux, and do much of my day to day coding on Linux servers with far more horsepower than my laptops. Working in macOS for email, writing, research, small code experiments, etc. is fine, as is working in a few SSH shells on a server with a nice Emacs/tmux/etc. setup for development. I find that I can live without the nice JetBrains IDEs, VS Code, etc.
Edit: I am nearing ‘retirement’ when I will do less software development and more writing. I am seriously considering switching to a really nice Chromebook since that would also meet my needs - so I am not permanently married to Apple.
