See, the problem is being limited to OS X. Windows is good these days. Linux is good too.
Or, at least, when I left OS X, it was just as clunky & crashy & inconsistent as everything else. And I realized that all my tools ran elsewhere or I could find decent alternatives.
I got really tired of limiting myself to the Apple silo. IMO, Apple's only thing was that they were nearly perfect, and that was reason to accept lock-in. Now, not so much.
It's definitely not "terrible as ever" as far as I'm concerned. I've been using Windows since the start and it's fully usable as my daily driver for development these days. Web dev under WSL and building Firefox works as well for me as it did under OS X.
I was alternating between a Windows desktop gaming PC and a Mac laptop for work since 2001 or so, with periodic hardware upgrades along the way. Finally gave up on the Mac laptop about 3 years ago and haven't been back.
