I then slept on it and a couple days later I'm home from my break, back on my 5K iMac editing some photos from said break. I realised how comfortable and content I am when using my iMac/macOS. I think part of moving to PC is that initial buzz with getting something new, but I know deep down I will regret giving up the things macOS provides.
My flip flop struggle is well documented
A Mac can do some things way better than a PC and vice versa but that is a real issue for us. But I gave up trying and moved into the dual eco-system approach.
Yes, I can do everything on a PC that I ever need to do, but damn, for me as a web developer, Windows can just suck my balls quite frankly. Yes, it can do it but compared to macOS it is night and day. Oh, I have tried to use Windows I really have!
But for everything else, Windows is the same or better.
So I have the MBP 13" for work and travel, my PC for everything else. I don't want an IMac, I want to choose my display and I want two of them. Yes, I can still use two with an iMac but OCD stops me, can't deal with two monitors that are not the same.
Whether I have the MBP docked and using my two monitors or using my pc and the MBP independently sitting at the side and switching as I want, it works.
Ultimately I have just found a way to use both without there being a dependancy that requires them to co-operate with each other.
And I can tinker and do whatever I want with the PC, change monitors, whatever.
I am getting involved in workflow soon that would really benefit from an iMac, but I am resisting, maybe if they do an amazing upgrade I could get one and use it on another desk, we will see.
