I work on a Macbook, play games on a Windows machine, carry around a Chromebook, and use Linux in various places (web hosting, WSL, etc.). I agree that the Mac is a nice machine but not everything is intuitive.
When I had a PowerMac, every time I needed to burn a CD/DVD I had to look up the steps. Dragging a window from one monitor to the other often doesn't display the window, and if a window is full-screen, Option-Tab won't bring any other windows on top of it.
The hardware is nice, and generally high quality, but my battery started to bulge and the repair (replace keyboard and new batter) was over $500.
I like it, but I wouldn't turn up my nose at alternatives. Since most of my job is typing, and web browsing, almost anything short of a Commodore VIC-20 would be fine.
