Despite the flaws it still provides a more consistent experience than Linux (especially on laptops). I just wish Apple put as much love into MacOS as they do into iOS. Also there is a lot of proprietary software like the Adobe suite + Music production software that is only available on MacOS or Windows.
It's the best linux experience I've had, I got used to call it "macosx, the linux way". It's stable, with a well thought of interface and softwares that just fit together, yet it's customizable to the extreme and will allow you to create your workflow instead of forcing one upon you.
Not that it will help with the unported softwares you're used to use, though (although, inkscape, blender and ardour are a thing, nowadays).
> more consistent experience than Linux (especially on laptops)
One one line of laptops, maybe. Run Linux on a single line of laptops that officially support it (I suggest XPS), making this an apples-apples comparison, and Darwin doesn't look as competitive anymore. Or cut the other way and look at Hackintoshes:)
> proprietary software
Yeah, this I agree with; WINE helps but sometimes you're stuck needing Darwin/NT.
Not the op, but until recently I felt like while Apple's apps were going downhill, its OS stayed very good, both in terms of user friendliness and stability. With High Sierra, any trust I had was utterly shattered.
