I came here to say similar. macOS > all for me. I personally generally detest Windows, but I keep an install around because I want to game and don't want getting my games to run to be a hobby. I'd much rather do most productivity types of things on Linux rather than Windows. That said, I'm far and away most productive on macOS, and the tooling there is just better for me for most things, especially given that I use an iPhone as my mobile. Just the integrations between those two would make switching either one hard, especially given it's not nearly as good on any other platform. But honestly, even trying to use a computer without Keyboard Maestro and Launchbar just feel straight up broken to me now.

Also, people downvoting in this thread maybe didn't read the question? "Which do you prefer?"

I did and I'd still downvote, particularly because of the incorrect points contributing to the general quality of that opinion. You can have an opinion but it won't necessarily be correct or justified.
