I'm with you about all the kids wanting macbooks. Because its like straight out of the movies. I'm pretty sure now that its because they don't know any better. Everyone on my team thought the macbooks were dogs and had the same hot keyboard problem (again using external monitors.) What is the point of a modern laptop that can't even efficiently run an email client?
I owned a next through college, big fan of the idea of osx. I didn't say not unix. It is not linux meaning a bunch of standard linux stuff just doesn't work for weird bs linux reasons. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work but time is money. Either it just works or gtfo. Macs are a novelty for the computer illiterate. But again, I was shocked how bad it actually was.
I gave it six months then swapped it for a lenovo p15. Same use as macbook I'm just using it as a corporate terminal and have had zero issues.

You had one experience with a platform and all of the sudden you are on expert on it?
If your entire team had the same experience I can guarantee it was due to some device management corporate installed.
I've been in SW development 30+ years. I use all 3 OS's regularly and always have. I have owned literally every model of Mac made, desktops and laptops. I have never seen or heard of a situation like your team experienced. I think you are either being dramatic or as I said before, your corporate IT had no idea how to deal with Macs and sent you guys compromised boxes. Or you are FOS and just trolling.
Macs are for the computer illiterate? That is seriously the most uninformed thing I've ever heard and makes me question your legitimacy as a "power user". It's really a laughable position.
Don't blame the platform because you don't know how to use it which by your own admission, given your short lived experience, would be an accurate assumption.
