As a Linux user I'm quite fond of MacOS. There's not really anything special about it but other than the unremovable first-party bloat ware its easy to use and stays out of my way, which is really the best I can ask for.
I'm personally not a fan of the UI and I think the keyboard keys and shortcuts are awful but to be fair I barely use MacOS. I only use it when I need to test something specific on MacOS.
I really like how Gnome has the super key and kinda combines Spotlight and Mission control into the same function.
After I got a free iMac and using it for a while, I don't think I can go back to Linux daily. It'll still be on my laptop, and my gaming PC, and eventually this Mac will die and I'll have to reassess. Linux is still just way too complicated for me to complete even basic tasks.
The biggest drawback of MacOS is all the software that's locked behind the Apple Store, which I refuse to use.
You don't mind their UI conventions? I suppose I could probably get used to them, but while I'm comfortable with Windows and Linux desktop environments, I find the Mac one to be quite unpleasant to use for some reason.
No. I still prefer Gnome but Mac is fine.
I miss years ago when you could run full KDE 3 on x11 and basically go in and out of a near Linux environment.
Now I only use it as a terminal because the power management is better.
