The reason to use a Mac is because the hardware and the trackpad are so good! The OS in general is pretty good, with multi-touch gestures and homebrew [1] picking up a lot of the slack. I just bought a new (2020) MacBook Air and it's the best computer I've ever owned (bought my first computer in 1996). The keyboard is fantastic now! No Touch Bar either; only real F-keys and a real escape key.

Yes, the killing of 32-bit apps in Catalina and the code signing issues are very frustrating. It's still worth it though. People are finding ways around it. The biggest annoyance (for me) has been the breakage of 32-bit Wine. I bought a license for Crossover [2] though, so it should hold me over until the upstream Wine has 32-bit-on-64 support working.
