The idea of swapping away from macOS seems more enticing by the day, given the development directions of macOS (this is just one of the many nails; the main one is that Apple is likely going to merge macOS with iOS [or the other way around]).

Discord works perfectly fine in a web browser. IIRC the platform-specific clients are just running a web browser themselves. Would rather use PWA then.

As for iTerm, you don't need that when you use i3 but perhaps you can specify the features you need.

1Password, I recommend Bitwarden. Cheaper, open source, you can even run an open source backend.

Messages, no idea why you want that. I only use WhatsApp for IM, and even that is just a web app.

For development I recommend Sublime Text. You can use it for free, though I did buy it (as someone else commented; worth every penny).

Skype for Linux is actually fallen behind to the other ports. Though I don't use Skype I heard complaints about that.
