I have zero qualms with MacOS, only the hardware and the horrific anti-consumer company.

There are many qualms to have with it as an OS

  • It demands both a dock and a title bar, a huge waste of vertical space on screens that are vertically limited

  • There's no way of globally enabling hidden files and folders (you can do it for finder through the terminal, but can't do it for the file picker windows)

  • It doesn't support multi-stream transport, so despite being all about simplicity you cannot display more than two display port screens over a thunderbolt connection, whereas windows can do 4.

  • It doesn't support sub pixel rendering, making text look blurry AF on 1080p and any other screens that aren't super high res

Right, well, I didn't say it was perfect.

MacOS has its oddities though. Some of its coreutils aren't quite BSD but they're not quite GNU either, so sometimes scripts have to either special-case MacOS or ensure they use options that only work across GNU, BSD and MacOS. This is an example of one I had to fix a few years back: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/1984
