I find Microsoft user hostile. I find that Apple is interested in selling me a tool that mostly gets out of my way, provides me with some pretty cool features, mostly respects my privacy, and isn't shoehorning bullshit AI into everything. As a long-term Apple user, I feel respected. Beyond all of that, I like that I only have to buy a machine once a decade because their hardware lasts. I'm typing this on a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro that STILL feels modern, even six years later. I'll get AT LEAST another two or three years out of this machine if I don't do anything stupid like spill a drink on it (last computer died that way).

If the alternatives are clunky linux machines or awful microsoft machines, I'll stick with my Mac, thanks.
