I get that some people don't like tinkering. They want something that will always Just Work. Some of my friends who were long time linux uses switched to macs and stayed there.
MacOS wasn't that for me- brew was the cause of no shortage of pain, but even that could have been lived with. It's also not exactly stable- one company I worked for (about 7 years total) had a blanket request that people not update OSX to new versions for a few weeks or months while it was tested to make sure that the bugs had been ironed out- anyone who upgraded before then was on their own if they ran into issues.
Even that, I could (and did, when I had to) tolerate.
I hate the UI. It doesn't jive with how I want to operate. Settings exist for some things, but not others. It's just not my cup of tea, and I'm happier tinkering a bit to get exactly what I want.
