i enjoy it because it has a native terminal and works well. im just a humble scientist though, not a hardcore video-game streaming professional.

god bless.

Attempt to install some new hardware or basically any program downloaded from the internet, no it doesn't

neuroscientist here (phD). all my heavy lifting is done on a super cluster. all my coding is done on my little mbp. its comfy. i enjoy it. ive never met a scientist that used anything but a mbp, /g/ is like a weird bizarro world to me where everyone hates macs. i assume because most people here arent devs but videogamers? who knows, im not one to judge

>>58478821
pleb devs (look up: bro coder) use macs while actual devs use Window and Linux depending on what they work on

dont have any need to install new hardware. all the programs i use are much easier to run/install on a mac since fellow scientists all use macs and so they write their stuff from that perspective.

dunno what to tell you friend, beyond "works for me; won't fix".

i dont think any of the software i use is mac-specific. they all have nice homebrew packages which make installation much less of a hassle though which i appreciate.

>>58478867
i enjoy the terminal on my mac, reminds me of linux without the hassle of having to run linux 24/7. linux is great for the clusters but having used it for years it become a bit of a headache. i write the code i need (C++/Python/C) in a simple IDE or VIM on my mbp and run it for a few weeks on the cluster. comfy.

macOS is pretty decent for programming. not as powerful as linux, but still better than Windows i would say

These people exist, so OSX exists.

To be fair, any computer could do that. You mentioned C++ right? I don't know an OS without a compiler for that.

Naturally. Just turns out the the MBP does what I need to do very well while simultaneously having a litany of features out of the box that minimizes wasted time. I enjoy it, and have enjoyed it for a bit more than a decade. I don't see my self ever going back to the struggle of Linux on my primary machine

Not exactly true. Normies love OS X.

The whole "just werks" thing is more important to normal people than you realize.

Normal people have jobs and families and lives and shit. They don't want to sit around and fuck with Windows Updates, force-restarts, "please wait while we update your computer", anti-virus, etc.

>>58478818
honestly the way you install programs on Windows is tedious and unnecessary.

The Windows command prompt is garbage

Also, Powershell isn't even close to up-to-par.

Final Cut Pro is the only useful thing there, and I'm not a professional video editor (and neither is anyone else on this board) so I don't give a fuck about it.

Pretty much all of the creative industry relies on Macs. I would run Linux but no Creative Suite/Sketch support is a dealbreaker.

Also a good chunk of contractor developers I know use Macs, use a OS X workflow and use Virtual Machines if they really have to run Windows, if you really think Windows is better than OS X then you clearly haven't used either properly.

Pretty much this.
In general terms, it's the middle of the spectrum of operating systems in a lot of ways. It doesn't have all of the options linux has, but it isn't as locked down (from personal experience) as windows is. It has less professional. programs than windows, but more than linux.
This is all just my experience though

The fact you find this difficult enough to consider them separate steps really shows why you use OSX
