I agree, and for me it all comes down to the OS. I've tried using other computers and operating systems, but as a software developer, my income and livelihood depend on me being able to produce code and do so efficiently. I'm more than willing to spend $2500 on a computer, one that I will one day be able to sell for ~$1000 if my past experiences hold true in the future, that works smoothly without hiccups and has a pristine top of the line OS that works seamlessly with all of the programs I run. I've tried Linux and like it, but some things just do not run the same as on my Mac. I've also tried Windows recently and the OS just feels gross, slow, and buggy after working with macOS and Linux.
