I don't recall it being like that before or since.
This is also a testament to how the web won and now mobile/smart devices are eating the web. Before it was about where the eyeballs where. The web democratized access to these eyeballs.

My Surface Book has a faulty battery and I am using an MBP when I'm not at the office. I not sure I will stick with Win 10 on my next computer, but I am sure I'm not going back to OSX.
WSL isn't perfect, but it feel more open and more linux-like to me than OSX. Maybe a Pixel Book,maybe straight Linux.

I found myself really missing (1) homebrew (2) a decent terminal (I tried a bunch...) and (3) good trackpad drivers.
Not huge things, but enough to make switching feel unappealing.
(There are a few things similar to homebrew, but none seemed to have gained enough attraction to cover basically anything you could want, the way homebrew does.)
