I respectfully disagree.
The entire desktop experience on macOS feels WAY more cohesive than windows (which I have used since early 90s), or any of the DE i have tried on linux/bsd (which i have used extensively for over 20 years). Additionally the quality of the hardware (specification/cost aside) far exceeds the alternatives.
I HATE the way that apple are going. Their products are absolutely fantastic, but it is evident that the direction is to lock-down the "computer" as they have done their mobile ecosystem. I hope that legislation and regulation will tear their walled garden (and others!) apart. Then we can get back to bashing peoples OS for being not our own - rather than for being the authoritarian minefield they have become.
