I've been using linux distros (~5 years of Ubuntu and ~3 years of Arch) before switching to macOS somewhere around 2013-2014. And now years later I'm thinking about moving back. But every time I'm think about this I start with digging about current Linux situation and every time I realise than it is still a horrible system for anything outside of work, especially if you can't really do without a decent UI\UX.

Apple's ecosystem is also an issue. iOS + macOS is still much better than anything on the market (no alternatives really).

I use my work machine for work and my personal equipment for everything else. My iPhone is more standalone then they used to be. I don't see any reason why I'd ever connect my personal phone to my work computer. So I don't see many downsides to making the switch.

Well, I don't have 'work' computer. I have my personal macbook and even more personal iMac.

Obviously in case you work only at the office or you use your computer only (lets say 90% time) for work - than there is no problem.

When I used my personal machines for everything, then I isolated my work from everything else. Remote servers are perfect for this, then you can just ssh in from any machine and do your work.
