Been using OSX since just after xmas (work issued the new macbook pro) alongside Fedora (all my machines) and there really isn't any difference in terms of a "smooth desktop experience" which is a credit to Fedora and Cinnamon really.

There are things I like about both platforms and things I dislike but I'm productive as a developer on either and mostly they feel the same.

At home if I want to do some dev I'm more likely to reach for my thinkpad though because I prefer the keyboard and it runs a lot cooler on my knee.
