I teach computer engineering, and Macs have gone from wonderful to the bane of labs in the last decade. Students never have the right dongle, the permissions are a mess, compilers are locked down. It’s sad actually. Macs took over cs departments and a lot of tech usage, but they seem to have entirely turned their back on that audience

And lord forbid you want to run an unsigned app.

We went from Macs being "immune" to malware to Macs being infested with it to this. Walled gardens have their benefits, but flexibility and choice aren't among them.

There's an open source audio tool I wanted to use, but the unsigned executable got bounced. It turns out I'd been fooled into downloading a malware-infested version of it. In that single case I appreciated it.
