I originally come from a Linux and FreeBSD background. I'm used to having to tweak my OS until everything works and looks and feels the way I want it to be. I started using OS X around ten years ago because I needed things like XCode for work. I like how easy it is to use OS X but at the same time I really despise the closed nature of the OS. What also bugged me is the planned obsolescence of the hardware. My MBP's keyboard started to become awful really quick. Now many keys trigger multiple times and some sometimes not at all. Sometimes I have to type my password five or six times (I'm not a fingerprint guy). What I really like about the Framework laptop is that it is designed to be repairable and upgradeable. I don't want to change my laptop every four or five years if possible. I want to be able to replace its mainboard or the keyboard or the display. I now use the Framework every day for work and I'm not less productive than on OS X. At the same time I believe that all issues will be gone eventually.
