Developing on MacOS - Best practices

Hi folks!
I used Linux as my main operating system for many years and then ended up with MacOS - for various reasons.
And although the basis of the two operating systems is very similar, I'm still unsure which is “the best way” to develop on MacOS.

Install Homebrew and everything you need on top of it? A mix of homebrew and Docker images for each project?

I would like to collect experiences from you and ask you to write me your setup. I deliberately don't want to talk about my project types “Java, Python, Flutter, ... or similar” so as not to set any defaults.

Thank you very much!
