Oh my God yes. I used a MacBook for work and it was a two-step nightmare to get it to connect to multiple monitors.

First, I had to plug multiple type-C cables in, one for each monitor, since Mac can’t output multiple displays through a dock. And getting it to actually show on all monitors was a finicky process at best.

And then, every time I’d take it off the desk and put it back, all my windows and workspaces would be all jumbled up, on the wrong monitors, etc.

I needed to install Rectangle just so I could have a keyboard shortcut to snap a window back onto the screen, since sometimes they’d be inaccessible off the end of the screen.

Mac support for multiple monitors is not a smooth experience, to say the least.

Just gonna call out that programming isn’t the only “real work” in the world.

Yep, it’s mostly just about consistency across the dev team. This is coming from someone with multiple Linux machines for personal use and hobby projects:

At my first job, devs all had Macs. There was the occasional guy with Linux but he was always had trouble because all the scripts and dev tools were made for Mac, so he had to constantly be rewriting and modifying them to work on his machine, and wasted time doing so. Nobody used Windows for development since it wasn’t Microsoft, lol.

But, when the Apple Silicon Macs started appearing, that’s a different story…
