Yeah, because the rest of the laptop industry seems to be eternally asleep at the wheel, unable to build anything remotely as efficient and premium feeling.

Most developers I know "use" macOS the same way they "use" Linux: you have a browser with a million tabs open, a terminal (or several), and a chat application or two. It's effectively the same experience whether you're using macOS or Linux, but with the former you at least don't feel like you're typing away on some plastic shell that overheats at the drop of a hat.
