Keep the Mac handy. I just went the other way to you because of a thousand paper cuts.

Same here. I want to like Windows but MS just makes it impossible.

The MBP M1 has blown me away, I don't think I'll try to go back any time soon.

Sorry if this doesn't apply to you but how do you deal with Docker development? I've heard some horror stories regarding Docker for mac and I don't think I'll be able to live without my Docker containers.

I do that on an AWS instance. I have learned over the years to keep my desktop and my tools well apart as there have been some fatalities which have knocked me out for a day at a time before.

I mostly write Go though which is fine on M1 macs.

If you are doing remote work why does the client matter? You can use an iPhone terminal app and achieve the same functionality. BTW the new windows terminal app is ages better compared to anything I had seen in the windows world.

Three MB Pros in 3 Years. Every single one was repaired before being replaced. Roughly 7k € down the drain.

Combine this with Endpoint Management crapware from my employer and you have a toxic combination. Esp. as said crapware is primarily targeted and optimized for WIN machines as the parent company is > 500k WIN machines and only about 25k - 40k Mac machines.

Sad, as I really loved the pre 2018 MB Pros and it was a blast doing my data analysis work there.
