IT professional here with 20+ years work experience. Not once have I ever met another tech that liked Apple. Personally, I despise them. Unintuitive locked down garbage that can’t do anything a PC can’t do for half the price. And yes, I have seen viruses on Macs.

They’re just really good at advertising to people who don’t understand technology.

Maybe 10-20 years ago. Today macs are great machines, especially for the price.

From the user perspective, enterprise managed Windows is locked down, too, and somehow less reliable.

Most of the software engineers I know in FAANG and similar tier companies use Macbooks to program. Poke around a coffee shop in the bay area during a weekday and look around.

And personally, I switched to Mac about 15 years ago mainly because dependency management and the shell made more sense to me coming from Linux. Windows has always been trash, and most other non-Apple OEMs make the actual physical laptop experience worse (hinges, behavior on closing the lid, trackpad behavior and size, power management, display quality in both brightness and pixel density, webcam/audio behavior).

  Long time and still current hater of all things Apple here.
  
  I have to use a locked down enterprise managed Windows 11 laptop for work. If given the choice of that or a locked down enterprise managed Mac, I’d switch in a heartbeat.

Mostly just because they’re unfamiliar and require different tooling. They used to be really shit machines and the users were godawful. Now theyre decent machines and all users are godawful.
