I helped build Apple 1's. I had a Lisa. I've owned nearly every generation of PowerBook and MacBook and I've had enough. I bought a loaded Surface Pro tablet last summer and I ordered a new 15" Surface Book 2 w/ Nvidia GTX 1060 to replace my MacBook Pro. Not the new one with TouchBar, that one was so bad I sold it back to Apple for a substantial loss. It was a good run.

What's wrong with APFS?
Well, when it shipped it didn't support Fusion Drives, which were the default when High Sierra shipped. Time Machine backups fell over and quit working (somewhat different issue, agreed) and before I got them working again, FileVault 2 ate both of the disks on both of my MacBook Pros causing me substantial data loss.

I also had two macOS Servers running on mac minis and they announced that they're discontinuing it, leaving Apple with no server offering. I also removed the discontinued Apple Airports from my network.

I plan to stay on iOS and Watch for now, though I only use my iPad Pro for music synthesizers and basic chat/browsing.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm being absolutely harrassed typing in my iCloud password on all my i-devices. In contrast, I think I've typed my Microsoft password less than 10 times in the last year.
