I switched to Win 11 pro after about a decade with Mac.
WSL2 + VSCode is enough for most of my use cases. Get Power Toys. You can now create a dev drive that has better performance with many small files like in node, if you are not using WSL. Multiple Desktop/Monitor is so much better than Mac. Need to spend couple of hours initially to tune it to my liking, after that it is mostly smooth run. I thought using Choco/WinGet initially but initial installation by going to each site isn't that big a pain. Go with lot of RAM if using Docker.
Yep this is very similar to my experience. Modern Windows 11 is pretty good.
Powertoys is cool and they are even file managers to get Miller columns browsing like in the Finder (I tend to like that very much, very fast).
I'm half convinced everyone complaining about Windows has not used Windows since ME or XP. Windows is perfectly good. It sucks that dev tools cater to people who want to spend thousands of dollars for a laptop and monitor stand but otherwise it's great.
