I have spent a lot more money on shitty ugly software on Windows than I have on macOS.

In fact as an almost 100% full time Mac user the only things I've actually bought that run on the Mac are PixelMator and Goodnotes and I paid virtually nothing for either of those.

What did you buy for windows? If you’re using the Mac full time, sounds like you don’t need this software on it?

Minitab was the worst. I learned R because I hated paying for it, using it and using Windows.

$1600 a year for dialog boxes where edit keys don't work in the text boxes properly.

A long time ago, CAD software fit the same hole of dire eye poking life sucking hell machine.
