You speak in general terms but you’re in a bubble. Here in my bubble, a tech valley in the South of France, developers have to be convinced to switch to Mac. “Sounds awesome but will I be able to get used to the new shortcuts?” is the general question.

Where are you from? I’d rather hire from your pool than mine (and I pay 20-30% above market range).

Not your parent poster but I'm from Eastern Europe and I'm using Macs for 3 years now and can't be convinced to go back to Linux.

Mac is just much less troublesome. As I'm aging and (hopefully) becoming a senior dev, I'm getting more and more focused and want to immediately attack the problems I'm paid to solve, and not endlessly fighting and fine-tuning my machines.

I might be wanting to get back to work soon. Hit me up if you need a seasoned dev.
