I've installed almost everything I need on the Mac using HomeBrew -
graphical applications as well as command line tools.

ON your terminal you can type brew install <package name>
It’s a command line utility.
Tuns of useful apps can be installed using that.
I use it very often for so many things, programming tools in particular.
But other software can also be installed.
For example drafts or for that matter even I installed chrome using it.
There are two sections they have one called cask for GUI tools and one
core for command line utils.

Programming on Mac is a bliss.
I use VSCode and I am a professional Python and node javascript
programmer.
By the way google sweet is best for spreadsheets and Microsoft word
works very well too.
I have a free version of word and I create documents in google docs
and then if need be I download and read it in word which is a great
experience.
Also do consider installing drafts a very excellent note taking
application.
Regards.

Most definitely. I do tons more with the Mac than I did with jaws
and windows. My brother is a computer programmer and loves his Mac
and he told me that after looking briefly at voice over that I
could do anything he can in a different way using voice over. I
must admit I didn’t believe him but 8 years down the line this is
true. I can’t code but I’m not that clever. If you wanted to do
that you could. I know that people on here do do coding. The only
thing I don’t like about the Mac is its word processing package.
It is called pages and I find it very clunky. I don’t do much now
and if I do want to do any I use text edit which is another built
in simple word processing package. My sighted family who have Macs
have downloaded micro soft word but I have heard god and bad
things about this and when you are shelling out what you are for a
Mac it seems a bit crazy to have to buy another word processing
package. Hope that helps love emma
