But I also understand some people's reasons for going Apple. Being the only reasonably stable platform you can run Adobe products is great for before mentioned media professionals, and the hardware is at the very least predictable in what you will get, if you have the money to burn on it. I used to be more extreme in my opinions about iOS devices when I was younger, but now I mostly don't care now that I'm no longer in primary school and don't get homophobic slurs thrown at me because I show up with an Android. The increasing degradation of Android's productive utility has probably played a role too, inching ever so closer to being as locked down as iOS.

I can't say they're without their merits though: - the iPhone SE was actually a good phone for the price and form factor - their C++ compiler eventually became the basis for the one in FreeBSD - Safari isn't a bad browser by any means, nor is the WebKit engine (if only a good QtWebKit/WebKitGTK browser was still around but you know...) macOS these days is a piece of shit, ever since Yosemite era, though El Capitan was pretty good, after that it became absolute dog shit.

Both GCC and Clang are acceptable C/C++ compilers but Clang has just always had the upper hand for a long time for development whether it is the quality of errors & warnings, or the compilation times. And for Principia GCC's optimisations breaks a lot of things that don't break when compiling with Clang. Bit hard to argue for anything other than Clang in that case. Apple's support of open source projects is strange because it feels like the company that would never touch it. But they do, and when they actually do they go absolutely all out to carry one to full success. LLVM wasn't originally developed by Apple but they ended up employing the original author and formed their own team around it to further develop it.
