I have used all 3 platforms but work best on a Mac.

I started work with Linux because some compiling required either Linux/MacOS. It was great for Dev, but Open/Libre Office were absolutely useless 5 years ago compared to MS Office. I guess today online solutions would compensate that.

I used Windows mostly for home projects, but the lack of a good terminal made it really hard to work on web development easily.

OSX has a good balance between the two, and I really like that the touch pad doesn’t get triggered while typing. (I usually disable touch pads on windows/Linux PCs...).

Bonus points for MacOS having the easiest way to use a JP/EN keyboard.

The macbook touchpads are certainly in a league of their own.
