Windows has a simple and powerful screenshot tool, and you know, I like it much more than the apple Screenshot app. For example, you can start the development server, copy the URL and open it immediately on your iPhone. It’s a fantastic feature, which I use regularly. But on Mac, with each OS update, you can face issues that your client is not optimized for the current OS version.Īpple macOS has a shared clipboard between apple devices. From my experience, on Windows, you can install it and use it for many years. Usually, it’s pre-configured 3rd-party apps that will work only inside your company. Quite often, companies provide a VPN client to their employees. When you work in a big company, usually you have to work with corporate VPNs. On Windows, you can debug only Android because there is no Safari for Windows. The default terminal is definitely better on macOS.Įverything is simple, macOS win this round because you can debug both iOS and Android devices. So on mac, you can have at least the same experience. Similar by functionality and speed is iTerm2. Both lightweight and full versions are free. You can install the full version with pre-installed git, ssh, and many more development tools.

Also, you can set up a hotkey and open it like a console in games with ctrl + ~. You can copy/paste in the terminal and edit text almost like in an ordinary text editor. That’s why I prefer to use Cmder on windows. But the default terminal on the mac is much comfortable than Command prompt and Power Shell together. Windows even can run Linux under the hood.

New macs with apple silicon processors have no variant at all. You can enable Microsoft Hyper-V from the power shell in a single command, absolutely free. Even if compared with mac on intel, Windows has more applications for virtualization.
