The Mac is losing me

I regularly use both a Mac and a Windows machine, and I can't overstate that I've had the absolute opposite experience: Windows is a stale, stagnant, consistently shitty OS whereas my experience with MacOS has gotten slightly better.

I also have many phones as a result of work, and have preferred Android for years — but recently decided I prefer the iPhone for my personal phone.

I'm surprised by it, in a way, but Android flagships leave a lot to be desired lately.

I have long preferred iPhones - one way or another, Android always ended up feeling unpolished and laggy. However, since the "flat" redesign I have felt iOS is on a downhill slope. Apps are increasingly crashy, I even had a scare with the Google Authenticator last week. I can sacrifice some freedom and money for convenience and looks, but if one side keeps altering the deal I have to question whether the bargain is still worth it.

I haven't had this experience with iOS yet, but I can say that Google Authenticator is easily replaced by Authy, which is superior on all fronts.

Google Authenticator feels like a side project that vastly exceeded its intended, critically important use.
