Question: Everyone says that developing on a Mac is better than PC. Give me an example of something that you can do with a Mac that you can't do on a PC?
Open up a real UNIX terminal that responds to control c for beginners. Terminal in Windows thinks control c is copy.

-Real Terminal
-Real Unix OS - No bolting on Microsofts Ubuntu shit
-HomeBrew lets you install native git and almost any other UNIX built package locally eg: imagemagick, youtube-dl, tensorflow, etc
-Run multiple virtual machines (MacOS/Windows/Any Flavour of UNIX)
-Native iPhone/iPad testing for mobile app development be it XCode or React Native or Flutter
-Homestead virtual machines for Laravel development
-VirtualBox virtual machines for multiple development environments
-Real local Python without having to install Anaconda
-Native local tools for machine learning development without having to bolt things on

I could go on. If you're developing code on a PC then you're doing it the hard way.
