Hell nah. Personally, mac os is the most frustrating of the bunch to use.

I switched over to MacOs about 3 months ago now for dev work and I've really been enjoying it so far. Except when there are weird hiccups, but they've been getting better as I get more familiar with it

Each to their own! I'm not a dev, but I have to use a mac at work for video editing, and what frustrates me, is the clunky window management and that some keyboard shortcuts (like copying and pasting) make me have to twist my hand in quite unnatural positions, at least on the apple's own keyboard.

You'll quickly change your mind once you start using Docker and similar tools a lot.

Not sure what you mean, I use x86 docker on my m2 MacBook no problem. Colima makes this fairly trivial

It doesn't run natively, it doesn't perform natively.
