I've thought about building a Hackintosh, but the issues around having to put up with non-working hardware (sometimes WiFi, sometimes Bluetooth, etc.) is off-putting to me.

I've reached the point where I think maybe the mid-2015 MacBook Pro Retina is the pinnacle of their development. While I could build something that functioned better in some areas, the overall package just wouldn't quite measure up.

I think it's useful to distinguish between desktop/workstation and laptop. I use a Macbook Pro alongside my Hackintosh workstations because there's a world of difference between Hackintosh laptops and workstations. The workstation hardware compatibility was nailed a long time ago but with laptops there was usually something you had to either replace or go without.
