I’ve been using a Mac non stop for 9 years now during and post working for Microsoft and its never once got in my way..
Cons - azure emulators Dont 100% support the MAC way of life - visual studio on a Mac is not the same as pc so you will have a ide shock initially - all Help / tutorials etc assume your always running a pc Pros - bash commands are pure - docker containers are really your way in out of pc land (mssql on a Mac is fine) - ide aren’t as bloated - aspnet core etc don’t feel 2nd class - power down / up isn’t a hostage negotiation tactic where as windows it’s always one issue or another (updates etc) On Sat, Mar 16, 2019 at 1:00 PM, Preet Sangha <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks.
