Developer Experience (DX) and Why Many Teams Standardise on macOS

As engineering teams scale, the local development environment becomes a critical—but often overlooked—factor in overall productivity. This article explores why many modern product teams converge on macOS as a standard development environment, and how factors like Unix-based architecture, tooling alignment, and onboarding consistency contribute to a smoother developer experience. It also looks at the trade-offs across macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and Linux, framing the discussion through the lens of engineering practice rather than personal preference.

This approach reduces risk, improves feedback loops, and allows teams to continuously deliver value without the disruption and overhead of major release cycles.
