Why Macs are shit
Shit Apple users say
"Macs don't have viruses!"
Nah, Viruses are so last century. MacOS has neat encrypting trojans ("ransomware") now!

Hardware
- no liquid drainage below the keyboard
- bad ventilation – the palm rest gets really hot
- dent-prone casing – it's sexy, but it's also aluminium.
- bad display coating ("staingate")
- the apple magic mouse has its charging port on the bottom, so you can't use it while charging.
- fuse for the display circuit in Macbooks doesn't protect it, the pins on the connector blow
Software
- you need brew.sh for dev tools, which is a third party hack
HFS+
- Is case insensitive and causes problems this way
- Linus Torvalds: "Quite frankly, HFS+ is probably the worst filesystem ever. Christ what shit it is." (comment to post by +JunioCHamano on Google+, 2015)
