Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

Interesting, I work with both at my job and my main take is:

  • CLI of Mac is superior to me and least confusing, plus has it's whole CLI experience working correctly for a long time, but Windows did a bit of a catch-up (still not on par IMO and too many ways of working)

  • The GUI settings are more advanced on Windows, but the new/old interface are a cluster fuck; I don't trust the interaction between them

  • Windows has more compatibility options with hardware/software, if you dig deep enough you can make things work most of the times

  • The general MacOS experience (from starting your computer, opening apps, using the CLI) performs better, Windows feels a bit more sluggish/bloated to me

I do like the steps that Microsoft takes with things like Visual Studio Code and .NET of aiming cross-platform. I have in no way any hatred for Microsoft and I think both operating systems have their pros and cons. They are both fine to work with.
