I have used multiple gens of the MacBook Air for web programming—often docked—most recently w the assist of an egpu.
I am interested in battery efficiency, raw cpu and graphics performance and do not care to do low level tinkering on my Mac.
I do expect it to be much more open to tinkering than iOS, but I also welcome the litany of security measures introduced so far and caution when it comes to executing wild code that affects my privacy.
I realize this puts me further in with trusting Apple to make good compromise decisions on what is possible and the hoops they create for developers on Macos, but I trust they will mostly make the right call for me.
It’s certainly been better than when I’ve had to deal with windows over the past decade.
