Yeah, well, YMMV. I don't feel comfortable with my macbook either, and
actually have reinstalled kde+devuan on my old, old nokia booklet and
consider taking it on my next trip. The macbook has enough memory to be
useful but the nokia has the right keyboard and... I don't know, there's
something. I prefer linux.

But at the companies that've provided most of my income in the past years,
I can only think of two developers others who definitely didn't use Mac
laptops. And at the IETF meetings I've been to, a large majority of those
attendees who write code for a living brought Macbooks to the meetings.
