Mac always works great for me, the hardware (post keyboard fix or pre keyboard problems) is good, so I stick with it.
For 95% of users, Mac just works with the exception of how MS Office programs can be pretty meh on Mac.
I have tried Linux machines at work and at home, and I appreciate the open values of Linux, but I think it's few years before touchpads and multi-screen graphics are really as slick and reliable as Mac for everyone not just HN power users.
The tinkerer in me will buy a Linux machine eventually, but I have tendency to tinker instead of getting things done, which prevents me from going Linux at the moment. Mac OS just works, feels, and looks good by default and gets out of my way.
I am also waiting to see how the next couple of years of CPU wars plays out before committing to a Linux laptop like a ThinkPad with all that stuff soldered in place.
Can't see myself ever going back to Windows which I grew up with. Windows 10 just looks and feels and acts miserable.
