@hacker-news I always find it interesting how they always talk about the underlying system and how it runs and their configuration.
However they completely miss the point when it comes to unique features of MacOS. It's ability to handle font rendering perfectly (opinion). Product-line integration. Proper screen scaling, text-to-voice options, and other accessibility options.
And last but not least, which is totally optional (and alternatives are around), commercial software availability.
@ullarah many points are missed, yes. The fact that Apple engineers the hardware gives them the ability to have a hardware/software "harmony" non existent—that I know of—on any other system. As you mention, product-line integration makes their "ecosystem" an almost perfect one, one in which all Apple produced devices work very well together.
When it comes to desktop—and mobile, but that is not on topic—use, I wouldn't move to any other not even if offered money. It is that simple.
Don't forget it's also the only OS on this Planet Earth that has decent enough full screen zoom and accessibility for vision impaired persons like me 😆

Me also do not want to move to another system. It's not only that I already spent quite a lot of money on, but as you also mention, it's the seamless hand-in-hand of hardware and software that I like a lot. Unfortunately, I have to use a Windows machine currently. But as soon I get my new MacBook Air, I will switch again.
And that zoom is great partly because of how good the font rendering and display scaling works on MacOS.
@ullarah Correct! 👌 You can't currently get this kind of font rendering and scaling on Linux 😢
