used a Mac for everything since 2005 and have always found a
workaround for any issue. I think the main problem here is an
increasingly complex build system that has to take into account
breathtaking complexity in terms of hardware, OS, compilers, etc and
it just needs a bit of tweaking.

well, probably each person has different opinions. I've just have a talk
with friends around me who are also work on computational work. They all
hold the same opions with me. If we would like to use the macOS for
computational work, in most cases, in fact we are working on LINUX
environment instead of macOS. They introduced tools to use Linux under
macOS such as macPORT. In essence, they are not native macOS at all and
they are always this or that problem there, and you have to waste lot of
time working on them.
Personally, I would never consider and suggest to use macOS for
computational work. It is no better than Windows for office work and it
is no better than Linux for computational work, and I find no reasons to
use a macOS.
