MacOS is still Unix under the hood, and has been since they adapted NeXTSTEP.
Maybe it's just because I'm fundamentally more of a console user than a windowing-system user, but to me a Unix-based OS is always going to be a winner compared to Windows.
But, if you want to laugh at OSes, laugh at classic MacOS, where everything would grind to a halt if you clicked and held the mouse button.
This. I'm not sure why more people don't know this, but macOS is actually UNIX certified. Linux isn't.
Linux isn't Unix, it's Unix-like
