Of course.

Honestly, I've seen only one application crash on me due to using an M1 Mac. TBH, didn't try to port my scientific applications on M1 though (most of the time, they run on Linux servers, so no rush).

In fact, I'm a desktop first user. Using M1 daily, since we're WFH. Maybe you can be this responsive on a desktop, but I'm talking on the mobile space. If we take out form factor considerations, I can get the same speed and responsiveness from 6-7 year old servers we use at the office.
Of course.
