>Have you really done that? REALLY?

I did that after 13 years as an Apple/Mac customer. I was enough of an Apple fanboy that I queued on Day 1 for iPhone 4, and did various other things that only diehard Mac users who obsessively read Daring Fireball and MacRumors do.

I use a ThinkPad X1 running Windows 10 as my daily driver now.

The last Mac I bought was so unreliable that it had to be repaired six times by the Apple Store. Every six months the internal SATA cable failed. (Mid-2012 MBP, it's a known design flaw.) On one of those occasions, I had to help the Apple "Genius" understand what a SATA flex cable was, how it plugs into a drive, and provide him with part numbers because he couldn't find the parts on his Genius iPad. Apple refused to give me a replacement machine when I saw the manager after the second incident. It wasn't until the 5th time (!) that they finally offered a replacement Mac laptop... however, it would have been a 1st Gen butterfly keyboard model. Y'know, the model known to break so often that Apple introduced a separate "warranty" just for the keyboards.

It honestly took me until the 6th repair to understand that being an Apple customer (nevermind an Apple developer) is being in an abusive relationship. I had to get out, because frankly I needed to get work done instead of all this Apple Store repair downtime.

And that's not counting the $100s of App Store software I've lost when Apple forgot to renew their App Store Developer certificates & now the OS thinks those apps are corrupt, and I can't redownload them because the App Store doesn't keep old versions. Or how Apple mistakenly revoked the developer certificate for Charlie Munroe Software, so now the Eon business timer app I use has been remotely disabled by Apple, even though there's nothing wrong with it and Apple admits it was a false positive. Much like the false positive that won't let me launch my old REALbasic compiler anymore because Apple has flagged it as malware too. At least I stayed on High Sierra, so the 32-bit software that interfaces with my digital hardware guitar amp still works.

I've had my ThinkPad a couple of years now. I don't "love" it, but it hasn't broken on me in all that time, making it more reliable than all 4 Mac laptops I've owned. The keyboard is better than any Mac keyboard I've used, except maybe the 2000-era Pismo G3. Sometimes reliability and stability is more important - just get work done with the least downtime. I can run more audio software on Windows than was ever available for my Mac. I've never had a virus on Windows and I only run the built-in firewall & anti-virus, and I don't need to deal with that Xcode worm that's going around right now. And while there's a ton of apps that don't use it yet, the Windows approach to HiDPI works better for me than the Mac 2x / 4x system... being able to run a crisp 1.5x on my external monitor instead of jumbo 2x icons is bliss.

Honestly, I do understand where you're coming from, there's a lot Mac OS X got right and a ton of areas for Windows still to improve, but this is not the Snow Leopard era Apple anymore. Apple just doesn't care, unless it's an iPhone. And I switched to Android years ago....
