I recently bought a MacBook Pro because it for a majority of the time it simply works. I feel like MacOS stays out of my way. On Mac, there is the app dock at the bottom, and the task bar at the top. Swipe between full screen programs. Simple. On Windows 10, there seems to be WAY too much going on. Press the start menu (which is an actual menu again), and there are tiles spinning everywhere and way too much clutter. Plus changing system settings is a pain too. I wish I can directly get to the original windows settings menu (for example, change hostname) but the process turns into this: Windows 10 menu, Windows 8 menu, Windows 7 menu, then finally the old school menu. To be fair, MacOS does hide some of its settings, but they are much easier to find and often relocated, instead of BURIED under different menus.

FYI - I just learned this trick (which was actually introduced in Windows 8 or 8.1): right click the start menu for a shortcut to a lot of system-level shortcuts (Event Viewer, System, Disk Management, etc).

Both operating systems have there idiosyncrasies, but that should be expected. Both work exceptionally well for development and leisure use. Personally, I prefer a macbook pro, but I've been developing on a windows machine for the last year and have come to enjoy my time with it quite a bit. These higher level issues not relating to the core processes can generally be handled by your own skill as an administrator.

My gripe with Windows 10 is that it's trying to evolve, bu not break backwards compatibility. I've found that there are two ways to do so many things. The Windows 10 way and the classic Windows way.
