I easily guess that it is just that you are used to Mac, so you easily "forget" the common issues that you are usually encountering.

For example, one of the most common example is icloud subtly enabled by default for syncing photo and data, and that will get your mac and iphone stuck in a complicated mess when things get full with the limited free space.

Not really, I've been using linux since the Slackware on diskette era. I know my way around recompiling a kernel (used to do it on a 486).

I also did dev on Windows, I know the internals pretty well (I even did embedded on CE, writing portable code across CE/95/NT family runtimes).

I still prefer Mac, it's much less likely to randomly break, mainly due to the fact that the hardware the software runs on is extremely predictable. I also like the care about muggle usability that Apple tends to pursue (granted, not perfect, but way better than the other two)
