I find Mac to be much better than Windows in my two main use cases:
My work laptop. It's a unix-like OS that I can use as an SSH terminal to my Linux dev box without having to setup any other dependencies. Since I do all of my development in (neo)vim and just otherwise need a browser and container runtime, there's less that I have to be bothered with. This is particularly a boon to me as I haven't used anything but Linux on my personal machines in over a decade now.
My wife's work machine. Windows updates are complete and total garbage. It's quite apparent that they don't care about outages and end-user impacts. After a particularly terrible update Tuesday, she had a remote session with a client and none of her software or hardware performed as it had just the day before. Replaced with a MacMini and there have been 0 problems since. I don't like the walled garden approach but, for work machines, it's a lot better than the MS approach.
WSL isn't Unix like, it is Unix.
GNU is not Unix.
